This guide to duathlon training for both high performance and leisure athletes is based on practical training experience with top athletes of the DTU (German Triathlon Union), the DLV (German Track and Field Federation) and the BDR (German Cyclist' Union), including the European champion Ralf Eggert and World Champion Normann Stadler.
