Triathlon: Racing Faster

This impressive DVD is all about getting race day right, covering everything from visualisation to nutrition to specific technique advice for each of the disciplines. Former US pro Wes Hobson and Olympic coach Michelle Blessing anchor things, and you get plenty of additional input from well-recognised experts: 220 contributing coach Joe Friel gives useful tapering advice, for example, while former world number one Barb Lindquist offers valuable swim tips.

Some of the dialogue is a bit stilted, there’s a ton of product placement and the whole thing is very American, but if you can live with that there’s loads of valuable information to be gleaned here by both the beginner and the intermediate triathlete.
