Training guides

Endurance training, explained without the fluff.

How to actually build for a marathon, a sprint, Olympic, 70.3, or Ironman triathlon, or a cycling event — the phases, the weekly hours, real sample weeks, and how to keep the plan adapting when life gets in the way. Less theory, more of what to do this week.
