Tony Swenson has compiled a complete training guide and workbook for anyone stupid enough to train for a triathlon: The Total Triathlon Almanac 5. I’m that stupid guy. I’ve only gotten through the first 30 or so pages, but what I have read has been extremely informative from my perspective (my perspective being one between a former couch potato and a weekend warrior). Swenson addresses the training needs of beginners, intermediate, and advanced athletes. He has combined the efforts and training modules of top triathlon athletes to create a well rounded approach to competing. The almanac is half book and half workbook to give you the information to get on track, and then a home to keep track of your progress. Very nice feature.
