DESCRIPTION:
It has everything you need to get you well on your way to duathlon success and enjoyment.” —Eric Schwartz of Duathlon. With its easy-to-read format and practical advice, it should prove to be a great asset, particularly to those new to the sport.” —Roger Brockenbrough, USA-Triathlon Grand Masters Duathlete of the Year, 2010 “Duathlon Training and Racing for Ordinary Mortals® is a great primer on the sport of duathlon. For those who would like to, as they say, ‘do the du,’ Dr. Now, he offers his unique perspective as both an endurance athlete and a physician and preventive medicine expert to the duathlon. “Dr. Steven Jonas is the author of one of the best triathlon training books ever written. That’s a powerful combination. Jonas’s book is the one for you.”—John Hanc, contributing editor, Runner’s World; author of T
USA-Triathlon, the national governing body for multi-sport racing, is committed to fostering the duathlon as the organization’s “growth sport.” With the full backing of USA-Triathlon—including sections on duathlon history and the forthcoming USA-T program for promoting duathlon—author Steven Jonas has penned the first modern guide for the aspiring multi-sport racer who cannot or simply doesn't want to swim. Well known for his original ground-breaking book Triathloning for Ordinary Mortals, which has sold nearly 50,000 copies in two editions, and his USA-Triathlon Life column “Ordinary Mortals ®: Talking Triathlon with Steve Jonas,” the author covers: how the run-bike-run duathlon works; how to have fun, get and stay fit, and promote your health doing duathlons; the training principles and programs for races of varying lengths, from starting
Roy Carter said Good book. I really liked this book. I just raced my first duathlon this weekend and the authors advice was spot on. It would be nice to have a book truly dedicated to duathlon without much reference to triathlon but since duathlon sprouted out of triathlon and this is one of the few books that covers duathlon at all, it's hard to complain.. Book could be useful for someone new to the sport fireplug Overall the book gives a reader that is new to the sport a broad overview of what a duathlon is. A novice will find this useful if they do not have any background in cycling or running by being given a list of equipment to buy and some basic techniques of each event.The main reason why I purchased this book was for the duathlon training guides.

But the training days only give the reader a time amount he or she should train for that. "Biography?" according to TL. This turned outo be much more of a history ofte sport , biography of te author than a true training and racing 'how to'
