Swim, Bike, Run - The ultimate guide to triathlon by Olympics heroes Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee

A Number One Bestseller

This is the story of how two skinny lads from west Yorkshire became the best triathletes in the world.

Meet the Brownlees: Olympic Champion Alistair, World Champion Jonny. Brothers, training partners, rivals. They have obliterated the competition and set new standards for swimming, biking and running.

In this revealing, often very funny book they take us inside their world. It's both a riveting story of the races, the success and the brotherly rivalry, as well as a guide to triathlon with sections on how to swim, bike and run and packed with advice on nutrition, injury, and mental approach.

This book will appeal to readers of cycling and running books like Mark Cavendish's Boy Racer and Running with the Kenyans, as well as fans of Chrissie Wellington's A Life Without Limits and Andy Beckett's Can't Swim, Can't Bike, Can't Run.

Maybe their [Olympic] achievement was the greatest of all. Swim, Bike, Run is an absorbing account of this punishing sport for both aspiring participants and armchair masochists alike

Sport has two new heroes: a couple of nice lads from Yorkshire

—— The Times

There is a golden rule in triathlon: when a Brownlee races, they win. They are incredibly close, do most things together, train as a team, and yet come the big race they are deadly rivals

—— The Guardian

Under the pressure of the biggest race of their lives, they delivered in unforgettable style

—— The Telegraph

A cracking read… the go-to present for anyone with even a passing interest in football… I sat and read this from cover to cover in one long sitting. It’s funny, it’s entertaining, it’s perfectly paced.

We know this story, but it's still a page-turner

The strength of the book lies in the way Dickinson has been able to go beyond football and find Moore’s real character… Dickinson’s achievement has been to honour the memory of Moore while also allowing us to understand that he was far from perfect

Absorbing

—— Spectator

This should be essential, sobering reading for anyone who cares about West Ham, England or English football

—— Julian Shea , Metro

Bobby Moore will rightly be forever remembered as the champion of his era, the most serenely masterful footballer ever to have hailed from these shores; “The Man in Full”, not shying away from human fallacies, serves as a reminder that he was the same as every one of us

Dickinson is tender to the memory of the Essex lad who, for a breathtaking instant, was glorious

Matt's work is the most impressive West Ham book of the year, a genuine and sincere attempt to get to the root of the man. It is an excellent, thought-provoking book

A compelling and complete account
