The Well-Built Triathlete: Turning Potential into Performance by Matt Dixon, Kessler Meredith
queerandweird's review
2.0
Not at all exceptional. Very male-focused, heteronormative, and has a lot of toxic male input on athletic training that none of us need in the world. No resources here other than the author's experience, he doesn't utilize science as he should, and he denounces other training methods without data.
More womxn athletes and authors, please! Or at least less toxic male voices in the world with megaphones.

Good overview. Not much in terms of details/training science/nontraditional programs.

I should have read this book years ago, when I was still serious about the sport. I should have read it during the pandemic when I felt like a rudderless ship sitting within sight of a milestone age that begged for an attempt at excellence. Alas.
This should be *the* definitive manual for the intense, passionate, drive, motivated and self-coached athlete because Dixon covers all the bases. Anyone with the mental bandwidth to take on triathlon seriously will gain a great deal from Dixon's insight, and not just because he has coached pros to glory with his methods.
