This is a good source of endurance info. It has good information of skill and technique development. Marc Evans takes more of a ‘whole athlete’ view than some other endurance writers. There are better books on triathlon training, but this is a well balanced text on endurance.

This is a great book for those of you out there that feel a little lost in the world of triathlon training. Stop reading all those contradictory articles and just get this book. Dead serious. To get the full effect of the book you must spend hours studying it. But your racing and training will improve dramatically. The author covers everything from speed, endurance, form, the whole nine yards.

This is not a “hoo-rah” story of a bunch of pro’s achievements, but an in depth discussion of endurance in general. There’s so much information, that you could pick and choose only 1/3 of it and the book’s still a bargain. I bought it when I first started doing short triathalons for fun and fitness, so I didn’t use all of the serious training charts. What I did use the most was the discussion on running technique and nutrition’s effect on endurance. The swimming and biking technique sections were also helpful. You don’t have to be a triathalete to benefit from this book. It applies to hiking, climbing, biking, or any endurance activity.

Endurance Athlete’s Edge by Marc Evans is the best book on the market for anyone who is interested in this form of training. Mutisports are one, if not the most challenging activities the body will ever endure. Marc Evans gives you the information you need to improve your knowledge in helping you last in this sport. If you want to win or just finish an Ironman race, you must get this book. Marc Evans Knows His Stuff, and is a leader on this subject. Thank you Mr. Evans for helping us all train right!

I’ve started reading this. It is very, very technical and hard work but the information is great. I’m sure it will be worth it once I make my way through all the charts and calculations. It has all the information that anyone could ever want on training for the swim, cycling and running events.
