Triathlon will become an official Olympic sport at the 2000 games in Sydney, Australia, but it`s already the sport of choice for more than 200,000 athletes in the United States and hundreds of thousands more around the world. Triathletes, along with many highly committed distance runners, cyclists, and swimmers, take their training very seriously. They`re not interested in just finishing. Their aim is finishing fast. Endurance Athlete`s Edge presents a comprehensive program for achieving the highest level of performance in triathlons, duathlons, and single sport endurance events. Author Marc Evans, former USA National Triathlon Team Coach, reveals the same successful training system he used with Scott Tinley, a world champion Ironman triathlete. In the book, Evans is his readers` personal coach, guiding multisport athletes, runners, cyclists, and swimmers to high-level fitness, flawless technique, and superior competitive performance.
