Essential Books Training/Motivation
Quote | Reply
Looking to beef up my library some with more reading material. What books do you have that are essential? They can be training books or memoirs, autobiography, etc.

I have Fast Track Triathlete by Matt Dixon, Be IronFit by Don and Melanie Fink, Endure by Alex Hutchinson, and Running and Being by George Sheehan. Obviously, lots of room to expand.

Looking forward to some recommendations! Thinking this will be my go to for when people ask what they can get me for Christmas.

I liked The Brave Athlete. Also, a good read not related to tri but about challenge is The Impossible Climb by Mark Synnot.

Once a Runner is a classic novel focused on distance running in the '70s by John Parker. Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life won the author, William Finnegan, a Pulitzer. A fantastic memoir of his lifelong stoke. Iron War, of course, by Matt Fitzgerald. Happy reading!
