About this listen

 A breakthrough program for triathletes -- beginner, intermediate, and advanced -- showing how to balance training intensity to maximize performance -- from a fitness expert and elite coach.
Cutting-edge research has proven that triathletes and other endurance athletes experience their greatest performance when they do 80 percent of their training at low intensity and the remaining 20 percent at moderate to high intensity. But the vast majority of recreational triathletes are caught in the so-called "moderate-intensity rut," spending almost half of their time training too hard--harder than the pros. Training harder isn't smarter; it actually results in low-grade chronic fatigue that prevents recreational athletes from getting the best results.

In 80/20 Triathlon, Matt Fitzgerald and David Warden lay out the real-world and scientific evidence, offering concrete tips and strategies, along with complete training plans for every distance--Sprint, Olympic, Half-Ironman, and Ironman--to help athletes implement the 80/20 rule of intensity balance. Benefits include reduced fatigue and injury risk, improved fitness, increased motivation, and better race results.

Think it could be told better as a newbie planning to get into triathlon. Haven't yet explored if the PDF or parts of are printable would be nice but I doubt it. The PDF is under chapter heading as some in previous reviews couldn't find it. Will be listening to it at least once more thoroughly before going over parts again at times.

Does what it says on the tin

Content really interesting but just doesn't really work as an audiobook. Even with accompanying pdf would still get most out of the writing if able to flick from one chapter to another. Advise the print version.

not great as an audiobook

I enjoyed the book, Gives a good review of the evidence of what the principle is about, and how it has come about. And the pdf is downloadable from the Audible desktop website. Helpfully it has the training plans which if you bought from their website would cost you up to $85. Bargain!

Helpful, gives good depth to understand principles
