Are you going to do a triathlon for the first time this year or do you have ambitious plans for a half or full triathlon?

Then this triathlon manual is definitely recommended.

With topics such as the human body, training, nutrition, recovery, and planning your season. A practical handbook based on science and practice. A sport that almost naturally captures the imagination. Components that require their own approach, training and technology.

Nice detail: A cool visual in the book with the TriathlonWorld logo is of course included!

It is not always easy for the novice athlete to find a way around this. Bas Groothedde was such a beginner. Not so long ago, in 2015, he started triathlon and has pretty much gone through all the mistakes, stupidities and setbacks.

By completing his Ironman Kona in Hawaii, his dream came true. Everything you encounter as a triathlete on this journey will pass. From the functioning of the human body, nutrition, your season, recovery to the mental game. Everything passes.

Based on his experience, knowledge, injuries and mistakes, Bas describes the beautiful sport in a visual way. With his background as a scientist, he has found a unique perspective and written a practical handbook for every triathlete. With a strong foot in science.

All topics that you will encounter as a beginner or amateur. Topics that Bas has struggled with as a triathlete and sometimes still does. His practical nature and background as a scientist makes this a unique book.

He has subjected himself to all kinds of tests, experiments and trials to understand how the body responds to training. VO2max, lactate measurements, Wingate, Biodex, Ramp test, blood tests. Everything for science.
