Train with Joe Friel's complete guide for competitive cross-country mountain bikers of all abilities. The Mountain Biker's Training Bible takes training out of the realm of intuition, guess work, or the "ride-until-you-drop" mentality and helps mountain bikers reap the benefits of periodization and effective self-coaching.

Learn How-To:

• Develop a systematic and comprehensive training program using a proven scientific approach
• Train more efficiently with weekly goals and workouts that build skill and improve technique
• Benefit from strength work, stretching, record-keeping, and smart nutrition specific to mountain biking
• Plan your training and racing season from start to finish
• Create a complete training week with all the variables for long-term success

Regardless of gender, age, or racing experience, The Mountain Biker's Training Bible is perfect for off-road riders of any level, from the novice to the professional to the "grassroots" age-group racer with limited time. Friel also addresses the specific needs of women, veterans, and new professionals. By following a training plan tailored to your schedule, abilities, and goals, you will improve your race performance and increase your enjoyment of the sport.
