I recently just finished reading “Born to run” and am looking for other suggestions for books or movies that are tri, swim, bike, or run oriented.
Iron war is a great read and history lesson.
Books:
Chrissy Wellington’s book is a good one.
Call the Suit is a great one on swimming.
Documentary Movies:
Ultramarathon Man
Spirit of the Marathon
Running the Sahara
Sharkwater (to help you become less afraid of sharks)
Fictional Movies:
Breaking Away
Chariots of Fire
Without Limits
Nutrition Documentaries:
Food, Inc.
Food Matters
Forks Over Knives
The Gerson Miracle
Into Thin Air by John Krakauer, about accomplishing something epic, bad decision making, motivational and engrossing.
“Call the Suit” by Sheila Taormina is now out in a second decision which was renamed “Swimming Speed Secrets”. It is indeed an excellent book on swimming.
