1) Paperback Book Going Long: Training for Ironman-Distance Triathlons (Ultrafit Multisport Training Series) by VeloPress. After reading Joe Friel´s Triathlete´s Bible, this book looks like a puzzle. The information in it is very good, but is given in a so unstructured way, that the reader have to go back and forth to put the pieces together. It´s a book that one who is getting prepared for Ironman should read, but not really needed if you have read the Bible from Friel.¤

2) Paperback Book Going Long: Training for Ironman-Distance Triathlons (Ultrafit Multisport Training Series) by VeloPress. This book is very informative and helpful to those making the transition to Half and Ironman distance tri´s. I would have given this book a five star if I didn´t already have Gale Bernhardt´s training plans for multisport athletes. All the info in Going long is in Gale´s book. They obviously consulted one another when writing their respective books. I recommend Gale´s book if you plan on doing different distance Tri´s. Joe´s book is more specific to the Ironman distance athlete. Good luck and always ride with a tailwind.¤

4) Paperback Book Going Long: Training for Ironman-Distance Triathlons (Ultrafit Multisport Training Series) by VeloPress. The problem when you start training for a long endurance event like the Ironman is that every second athlete has his or her own opinion and way of training. This confused me a lot.

I decided to seek some professional help and use this book to train for my first Ironman and I can honestly say this book is remarkable. The level of detail is intense, so you have to be patient and read some sections several times to really grasp and remember all the advice given in the chapters, i.e. nutrition, discipline-specific training techniques, etc.

You also need to apply the knowledge with some common sense, because it has been written with advice for every athlete from novice to elite. So make sure you know where you fall on the scale and what you want to achieve and use the advice that is applicable to you.

But, in general, I found the training principles in this book to be accurate and now that I have completed an Ironman I can say that they work. Lately I have discovered that many of the Ironman athletes I meet also used this book to train from.

So you can buy and use it with confidence. Good luck!¤
