One minute training is being based on max heart rate, the next it's based on your lactate threshold. There are just too many contradictions throughout the book.

Next to the book, Rowing Faster, by Dr.Volker Nolte; Lactate Threshold Training,by Dr.Peter Janssen, is also a must have for any coach.

For someone how just wants to learn more about how the body works while working out, but doesn't want to get a degree in sports science, this is a book that can really help. I found this book to be an excellent reference for when I have questions about endurance training. I can say that I now run faster for longer because of the ideas I found in this book.

simple language that reads quite fast (5 hours total). It shows the principle but does not detail how to set up a full and comprehensive training program over a few months of training. Although it could be argued that all the information is present to do so by yourself. The book contains a lot of information on nutrition which I feel is pertinent to understanding why and how this may affect lactate measurments. Interesting tidbits of info on the state of doping procedures in cycling (how pertinent is this???). Lastly, if this is one of the first books you buy on overal training and nutrition, then it is quite good. If you already have a good library and adequate coaching, this may not be for you if you expected the whole book's content on LTtraining. Strange to see graphs with missing titles and units.

As I was searching through my college coaches shelves I discovered this little thin book, opened it and discovered a science book rather than book on reading. However when one looks past the formulas and math, the text and information provided for you are amazing. Not only do I train myself using the methods and information, but I also train my team according to what I have discovered, learned and experienced through the use of the text. It is a very valuable tool for those who are not afraid of some math and some serious thinking. I will purchase the new edition and hopefully it will contain updates in science, nutrition, as well as other various fields that not only help strengthen my own being, but my teams as well.
