 Confusing and, in places, just wrong June 25, 2005

I bought this book when I got my Heart Rate Monitor. One simple example illustrates this book's fundamental failure: "Hard Day - run 15-30 minutes at 65-75% effort". "Moderate Day - run 20-40 minutes at 75-80% effort". That's right - run harder for longer on easier days! With that howling editorial failure, none of the rest of the material can be trusted.

I bought a heat rate monitor and needed some advice on how to use it effectively, so turned to this. I mountain bike - but the cycling section refers exclusively to the spray-on lycra brigade and their peculiar regimes. I run - but the running section contained flat out contradictions (e.g. "training plan phase I: hard day, run 30 minutes at 75% effort; moderate day, run 40 minutes at 80% effort").Look elsewhere - there are plenty of titles.
 Good book for training September 12, 2001

I used this book to set up my training routines. I don't really understand the comments about the book being "too technical". Training and setting up routines is a technical subject. Setting your max heart rate and lactate thresholds is pretty tricky but once I'd taken the time to do that my performance improved no end working with the workout suggestions.

I am currently studying A Level PE & BTEC Sports Science, and found this book to be invaluable to my course. If you have anything to do with fitness trainin programmes you need this book.

It is a very good book if you are interested in the theory of heart rate training. I found it overwhelming (as another reader did) in that it was a little too technical. I don't like the way there are different authors to different sports. I have to agree that it is written towards Polar but does not that matter when the book has so many other things to offer. This is a good book but just wasn't the sort of book that I was looking for. I am a fitness fanatic not a runner or inline skater or triathlete!!
