80/20: Perfect fitness

Slow down to get faster!
Scientific research has shown that endurance athletes achieve the best results when they stick to the 80/20 rule – that is, they complete 80% of their training at a low intensity and the remaining 20% at a medium to high intensity. However, most recreational athletes spend up to half their training time at higher intensities, which doesn't allow for sufficient recovery before the next workout. Such a training regime can lead to chronic fatigue, susceptibility to injury, and even stress fractures. Training hard doesn't necessarily mean training better – many athletes therefore fail to reach their full potential.

A groundbreaking triathlon method for all endurance athletes who want to improve their performance.
In the book 80/20 Triathlon: The Ultimate Guide to Fitness, experienced triathlon coaches Matt Fitzgerald and David Warden present the 80/20 method, define intensity zones, and offer useful tips. Their detailed training plans can be used not only by triathletes, but also by runners, cyclists, swimmers, and other endurance-focused athletes. With the 80/20 method, used by the world's best triathletes, you will improve your fitness and motivation, minimise the risk of injury, and get the most out of yourself.
