This book is one of my favourites and I was given it when I started in the sport and have passed it on and recommended it a hundred times! I am now in a position to offer it to you along with the other specially selected sports specific books that we have selected for the RG Active Online Store.

The book 'Your First Triathlon' and it has been written by coaching legend Joe Friel to guide you to your first race in just 12 weeks. It pretty much assumes a ground zero approach and covers the training from every angle, even to the extent of explaining the differences between different types of bike.

It is very American in some ways but on the whole a book that will be a lot more help, than not to anyone beginning their life as a triathlete.
