Tri Power: The Ultimate Strength Training, Core Conditioning, Endurance, and Flexibility Program for Triathlon Success (Paperback)

Review

“As a collegiate hockey player and rower, I didn’t think of core training when I moved into [performing] triathlons. Only when I suffered through several injuries that laid me up for almost two years, did I realize that core strength would not only make me faster, but also improve my body’s ability to prevent and heal injury. I got started late on the Tri Power program last year, but it still enabled me to make Honorable Mention All American in 2006 and, given training splits on the bike, track, and pool, I’m confident I’ll be making All American this year–and race more with far fewer injuries.”– Charles MacintoshHonorable Mention All American USA Triathlete (2006)Member of Team Enhance Triathlon Team NYCMember of Elysium Fitness Cycling Team“As I get older, the line between training and injury becomes more difficult to straddle. I have discovered that strength training is the key to keep me strong and injury-free during the long triathlon seaso (more…)
