Have you finished a couple of races and are keen to improve your performance? Triathlon training and racing can be daunting and confusing. Many beginners are a little intimidated by everybody else who looks like they know what they are doing and have all the gear. Triathlon for Beginners is an easy-to-understand and insightful book packed with practical training tips and strategies, nutrition advice, how to develop mental toughness, and advice on triathlon gear you need. It will help you: Understand the sport of triathlon and how it works Develop a training plan that simplifies your season Train effectively, so you minimize the risk of getting injured Avoid making mistakes that cost a lot of time and money Help you feel confident when you are on the start line Decide what race length is best for you, from sprint to Ironman Buy the right triathlon kit to suit your ability and your aspirations A personal note from the author: This book is gathered from years of training and racing, not only from my triathlon experience but from the experiences of champions. I have trained with and raced with elite athletes and winners from all over the world, but I also started out not knowing what I was doing and was scared to death when I did my first race. I wish I had this book when I started out. I would have saved myself a lot of heartache and stress! I wrote this to help all triathlon rookies get over their nerves and enjoy this fantastic sport. Triathlon for Beginners is a complete start-to-finish guide that covers all areas of training and racing, including what you need to know and how to begin; how to understand the jargon of the sport; training rules and techniques; swimming, cycling, and running techniques; race etiquette; and how to get faster and better performances. Review: I found this book to be perfect for beginners - I found this book to be perfect for beginners. I had just signed up for my first sprint triathlon (on my bucket list) and previously was just a runner. I started training 14 weeks before my race, and read this book cover to cover twice. What I liked about the book was that it answered all of my questions about what to expect, how to prepare (mentally, physically, and equipment wise), so that on race day (last weekend), I had only the usual race day jitters. I've looked at the other reviews, and I agree that it doesn't go into much detail about training plans, but this book is for BEGINNERS. I combined this book with a 12 week beginner tri training plan I found online, and....got 3rd place in my age category. This was a crucial book for my success with my first race. Highly, highly recommend for beginners. If you're looking for more in depth or detailed, or info for seasoned triathlons, this may not be the book for you. I'm sure I'll read it again before my next race. Review: Handy little guide - Very helpful if youre starting training from scratch, it covers all the basics without using overly complicated jargon. It is for the very beginner though and if you have a little experience in the three disciplines, this book wont be too helpful. I have done one triathlon and a number of cycle and running races and was looking for a book that would help me identify my basic mistakes as well as give me a little bit of advanced knowledge, I didnt find TOO much useful info here (most of what I found seemed to be common sense to someone who has some experience) but once i had finished it I did hand it off to a friend doing her first triathlon and she found it very handy. ## Images ![Triathlon for Beginners: Everything You Need to Know About Training, Nutrition, Kit, Motivation, Racing, and Much More - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TZfDxc4XL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I found this book to be perfect for beginners *by R***O on April 27, 2018* I found this book to be perfect for beginners.

It addressed lots of detail that can easily get overlooked, but presented in an accessible way. It’s also very encouraging for wherever one is in their endurance training and provides a great confidence boost! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/109513383-triathlon-for-beginners-everything-you-need-to-know-about-training](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/109513383-triathlon-for-beginners-everything-you-need-to-know-about-training) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
