It also gives clear and valuable advice on nutrition and diet, handling injuries and, most importantly, features week-by-week training programmes specifically devised for each of the three disciplines over various triathlon distances.Interspersed throughout are the best tips from top experts and profiles of the world's highest achieving triathletes, plus a handful of the world's great triathlons.
