Firstly good luck💪 i had the the Triathlon Bible it's really good covers everything and all of the advice and methods are proven and it's only at the real marginal gains end that ideas have changed a bit since. If you could only buy one book for triathlon that would be it. I've got the Chrissy Wellington book which doesn't really have training plans in it but it's full of stories and tips and tricks which are definitely useful and its all iron distance specific. I've got the big swim smooth book and a USB from another swim system i can't remember which and you can have any or all them if you want? I recommend Effortless Swimming on YouTube and Triathlon Taren is good especially for completers and faster AG finishers. Most ironman youtubers are either pros or aspiring pros so apart from the odd modified single workout and some inspiration i certainly don't get much out of them don't try and copy what Lionel Sanders is doing. I tried first lockdown because why not I've got nothing better to do so went from 15 to 25-30h a week ironman training and lasted about 3 weeks 😂 Harry Palmer is probably the best of the semi/pro youtubers i still find him relatable even though he's pretty much a full time athlete and seems honest about the roller coaster of iron man training and racing.
