About Triathlete Edge Book
Triathlon coaching pioneer Marc Evans
has trained pros and age-group
triathletes for over 20 years, and he
knows what it takes to be successful.
His system is divided into phases that
can be customized to fit various
training seasons and racing objectives.
The base preparation phase sets training
goals and develops endurance, strength,
flexibility, and technique. Base
transition adds new workouts, introduces
transitions, and increases the volume
and intensity of your training. The
third phase, race preparation, includes
specific swim, bike, and run workouts
tailored to your fitness level that will
condition your body to put it all
together in the approaching competition.
The final phase, peak transition,
prepares you physiologically and
psychologically in a taper that will
sharpen your body to peak on race day.
Triathlete's Edge contains much more
than training programs. Complete
assessment tools allow you to evaluate
mobility, posture, gait, strength, and
flexibility to make improvements through
event-specific exercise drills. Swim
instruction covers stroke improvement
and hand entry techniques and offers
tips on mass starts and exits. You'll
improve your position on the bike,
perfect your posture, and study cadence
and gearing on the bike. The running
section will sharpen your efficiency
with drills for arm movement, foot
strike, and running stride.
Evans reveals the professional training
secrets that have defined him as the
triathlon training authority. Mark
Allen, Karen Smyers, Mike Pigg, and Sue
Latshaw are just a few of the legendary
triathletes who have benefited from
Evans' mentoring. Now you can
incorporate his knowledge in your own
training program to give yourself the
triathlete's edge!
