This is a great resource for a large audience. -- Triathlon Magazine Canada Going Long targets triathletes of varying ability and Ironman (R) aspirations. If you have one shot at the Ironman and training time is at a premium, then 22 pages on strength training may not be for you. However, the 21 pages on nutrition could determine your Ironman destiny. -- IMPACT magazine Gordo and Joe have a unique way of helping the long-distance athlete to recognize what's important in fitting these events into one's life...In our age of information overload they give the self-coached athletes all the tools they need to succeed. -- Scott Molina, coach and former professional triathlete 25 years of active multisport coaching has proven that Joe Friel has an unprecedented understanding of endurance sports.
