Product Description:
 

Going Long is the most comprehensive guide to racing long-course triathlons ever written. Combining science with personal experience, Friel and Byrn prepare every triathlete, from the working age-grouper to the podium contender, for success in triathlon’s ultimate endurance event. Sport-specific chapters outline training for each triathlon discipline and describe drills to improve form and efficiency. A newly expanded section on training the mind explores the all-important psychological aspects of racing, including goal-setting and visualisation. A detailed appendix includes key training sessions, workout examples, and strength training progressions. Going Long has long been the best-selling book on the subject of training for the long course. With expanded content and a new, two-colour format, this second edition is once again the premier sourcebook for triathletes who are serious about succeeding in the long-course distance.

5 out of 5 stars.  Ironman Bible, June 29, 2010
I was unbelievably satisfied with this book. It covered everything you could ever want or need to know about the Ironman triathlon and would be helpful for anyone training for the race including novices and advanced athletes. If you are thinking about participating in this crazy race or just want to know more about it, I would definitely recommend this book.

4 out of 5 stars.  A complete, exclusively for IronMan Guide, April 8, 2010
This is a great book. Honest, to the point, complete and well written.
In many ways, similar to "Triathlon Training Bible", from the same author. But this one is focused in preparing for the IronMan.
Not a long read, it can make you close to an expert, with little invested time and effort.
If you are only interested in the IronMan, this is the book for you.

5 out of 5 stars.  A Must Have, March 15, 2010
A must have if you are thinking about going long. I have looked everywhere and read a lot. This is the bible of triathlon information!

2 out of 5 stars.  same old story, January 18, 2010
Really, two stars might be a bit generous. If you've ever subscribed to Runner's World, or Triathlete Magazine, or read another book on triathlon, you are not going to get much new from this book. It merely re-inforces what you already know, so don't hope for any breakthrough information.

I really enjoyed this book. It helped me decide to do a half an ironman in August 2010.
Thank You
