Muss ich für einen Half-Ironman tapern ? Ist der Half-Ironman im Training eher vergleichbar mit der schnellen Olympischen Distanz oder mit dem längeren Ironman ? Die Half-Ironman Distanz erlebt heute gerade mit der Ironman 70.3 Serie eine regelrechte Renaissance. Nicht nur ist der Trainingsaufwand zum finishen geringer und damit für viele Amateure vertretbarer, sondern die IM 70.3 Serie hat recht professionell aufgesetzte Wettbewerbe mit sehr attraktiven Strecken. Sie ist auch sehr beliebt bei Topathleten und Profis, da sie zeitlich gut abgestimmt vor den IM Wettkämpfen liegen - die Profibesetzungen sind daher vergleichbar mit denen der IMs. Mittlerweile wurde ausserdem klar, dass diese mittleren Distanzen auch eine enorme Herausforderung bedeuten, nämlich die, Ausdauer mit Geschwindigkeit zu verbinden. Sowohl OD als auch IM Spezialisten führen also die IM 70.3 durch. Grund genug also, endlich neben den unzähligen Triathlon- und IM-Trainingsbüchern sich auch mal speziell der Half-Ironman Distanz zu widmen. Tom Rodgers ist hiermit ein recht gutes Werk gelungen, ganz im Stile der amerikanischen Klassiker für OD und IM wie die von Joe Friel. Es werden wirklich alle wichtigen Themen zum Training und zur Wettkampfvorbereitung und -durchführung erschöpfend behandelt. Somit werden auch die obigen Fragen adressiert. Man bekommt ein Buch an die Hand, mit dem man sich perfekt auf den Half-Ironman vorbereiten kann.

GOOD FOR BEGINNER OR ADVANCED, GREAT FOR LONG-COURSE TRIATHLETE
11. Januar 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
I was thinking of moving up to the half- or full-ironman distance triathlon, and this book seemed a logical choice. As far as I know, it's the first volume dedicated to half-iron training and racing. The author spends the first few chapters going through the basic theory of training and "design science," but then dives right into the specific detail of the three sports and training for this distance. The individual chapters on swim, bike and run are as useful and detailed as any other triathlon book, with some later advances in bike aerodynamics, power metering, and running technique.
But the best and unique aspect of the book are the specific workouts, case studies and race strategies for the half-iron distance, including categories for beginner, veteran, and elite triathletes. What works for one group may not work for others. He does give separate examples for different levels, and beginners should stay with the simpler stuff in the book.
If you have read either Friel's TRAINING BIBLE or Byrn's GOING LONG, you'll feel at home with Rodger's similar approach, but his style and emphasis are different. His writing style is clear like Friel's, but he has more personal anecdotes and humor to go along with the scientific training principles. He used to train astronauts at NASA, so there is plenty of science and technology in the book, but also a lot of heart. Since he started later in life, he has more sympathy for beginners and the average or aging athlete than a pro triathlete or someone who coaches mostly pros. But make no mistake: he's a hard-racing, top-ranked age grouper with lots of world championship racing, especially Ironman and ultradistance, so some of the material can be quite challenging, but also inspiring.
Nice photos of famous folks at Kona, as well as good drawings and diagrams to illustrate swim, bike and run technique. About the only thing that could have been better would be to use the larger page format of the TRAINING BIBLE books, especially for tables and graphics, though for the money this is a well-printed publication.

Good book for any length triathlon
5. November 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I got this book to help me decide if I wanted to start training for a 1/2 ironman. Having a season of various triatlons and duathlons, 5K street and trail running... wicking it up a notch was entertaining so I started reading this book. I also wanted some input on whether or not a coach is needed, training hours required for a 1/2, limiters etc... This book points out things I didn't think of, like the cost of training for a 1/2.... not only financially but family, time, work balancing.
The book gets into details roughing out training phases, principles etc.. I would buy it again as it has help me put things in perspective...
