What Others Say:

"It's truly the Rolls Royce of training diaries, a practical bible for the beginner and an easy reference guide for anyone closer to the elite end of the scale. The only objection you might have is that it's an American publication, and most of the advice comes from Americans who you may not have heard of. But that doesn"t affect the quality of the advice. If you can only afford one running book this year, make it this one—it's worth it."
- Runner's World magazine

"Svensson has put together the most comprehensive training log yet on the market."
- Competitor Magazine

"Almanac helps athletes build a foundation. For amateur athletes looking to improve their time and performance, a copy of 'the almanac' might help more than a new pair of racing flats..."
- The Denver Post

"The almanacs provide substantial amounts of racing and training advice from expert coaches and elite athletes, as well as the authors themselves...the writing is clear and concise...the log pages are well designed...the total package is a good one."
- The Running Journal

"...there's nothing like this book on the market—a perfect pick for an athlete."
- The Midwest Book Review

Kearns offers a unique inside look on the challenges and rewards of succeeding in triathlons, where many professional competitors struggle to make ends meet, while dedicating their lives to the arduous training regimen and disciplined lifestyle required for success. This self-effacing account of his athletic journey is laced with hilarious tales of mischief and high-risk adventure, in a sport where the unique, close-knit fraternity of athletes are cutthroat in competition, yet "cut-loose" off the race course.

Triathlete of the Decade Mark Allen describes this book very well: "This book is a refreshing departure from the common 'how to' books in sports. Brad goes beyond the race results and workout miles to provide an intimate look at the lifestyle of a professional athlete. I highly recommend this book from one of the most colorful personalities in sports today."
