In Be Iron Fit, sought-after multisport coach Don Fink draws on his time-efficient training methods to provide a practical program in a step-by-step, enjoyable way-so even everyday athletes can attain ultimate conditioning. If you've already familiar with basic training, then I recommend you select a different book to read.Really like the concept/plan and want to use the Intermediate training plan for the 2010 full ChesapeakeMan.

I've been following the specific swim workouts in the book, which are very interval-based, and I *hope* that they are making me stronger.
