Just noticed that Chris Carmichael & Jim Rutberg ( Time Crunched Cyclist) now have a Time Crunched Triathlete book on sale. In the extract thats on the net, Carmichael points out that his cycling programs are NOT suitable for inclusion in a triathlete program as they will overpower the other disciplines and the athlete will burn out. I'm not experienced enough to know ( and part of me is cynical enough to realise that these guys are in the business of selling books after all.......) but if you haven't bought the cycling book, perhaps go for the tri one instead. Balance is important and its good that Carmichael has acknowledged this and how much more important it is for triathletes than single-sport athletes.
