Subject: "Your Best Triathlon" by Joel Friel
I was wondering if anyone has used the training plans by Joel Friel in his book "Your Best Triathlon"? My question is regarding the plan for the Half Ironman distance. Are all of these workouts supposed to be bricks or are they supposed to be 'two a days'? I think I know the answer logically, but it does suggest this is for serious athletes. I'm trying to improve my time from the Boise 70.3 HIM in June and thought this book would be great....

It should be two-a-days unless is specifically says do it as a brick.

As mentioned above, yes, two separate workouts.  I think he recommends in there trying to space them out as morning and afternoon if possible, to allow for some recovery between them.

 

I have used this book for everything from sprint distance to ironman and found the plans to be excellent.  I usually fell a bit short of the recommended distances, but still was adequately trained to complete the races.  I think if you did all of the workouts in the plans as prescribed, you would be in excellent shape to rock the race.

I went down to the beach the day before to scout out the course, and it was glorious...the sun was out, the sea was as smooth as glass, and only a hint of a breeze was blowing. “Perfect,” I thought.
