3.0 out of 5 stars A good book for Chris Boardman fans, 14 Oct 2002
By A Customer
I found this book to be very readable especially if you are interested in Chris himself. He goes into great detail regarding his training methods and the motivation required to reach the top. However this book is NOT a good training book for beginners or average cyclists. The training is aimed at the more experienced athletes that can afford to spend a lot of money and time on the best equipment, testing, coaching etc.

3.0 out of 5 stars More like the complete Chris Bordman, 15 Mar 2002
By A Customer
I found it more about Chris Boardman than cycling, not that I dislike Chris, the begining covers a lot of Chris's history, but to be fare, the end gave some interesting training tips.

5.0 out of 5 stars you can't put it down once you start to read, 22 Oct 2000
By A Customer
To date I could count how many books I have really enjoyed in recent years on one hand, this book caught my attention a few weeks ago and having bought it, I read the lot in one day, I just did'nt have the mind to put the thing down it's cramed with information compiled by Chris a real wealth of knowledge to any cyclist wishing to get stronger fitter faster, if you don't believe me just order the book and see for your self, I was more than happy with my copy but would love it to be signed by Chris himself.
