The Cyclist's Training Bible - 4th Edition by Joe Friel
 Let coach Joe Friel show you how the benefits of a scientific, self-coahed training plan will refine your skills and improve your cycling performance.
Take your current training out of the realm of intuition, guesswork, or the ride-until-you-drop mentality using a proven training program to create a plan specifically tailored to your cycling goals, regardless of gender, age, or racing experience.
This new edition reflects the accumulated advances in sports science that provide a greater understanding of training issues as well as the author's personal growth as a coach.
The components of Friel's classic training method have been updated and refined to help you produce better results through weight training, nutrition, power-based training, variations on periodization, and recovery.
