Every cyclist interested in improving their fitness should read this book.
There are sections on racing, time-trialling and weight training. Particularly useful is the programme of turbo trainer workouts, with either a progressive 12 week programme or specific workouts to choose from.
The writing style is friendly, down-to-earth and encouraging too. Arnie Baker is a championship-winning cyclist, as well as a doctor, so he combines his real-world experience with scientific backup.
You will definitely want to get out on your bike and give it a go having read this!

Hey,
I've just started enjoying cycling and do an hour cycle sprint 2-3 times a week, i had hoped this book would tell me how to train from a beginner to a more advanced technique, but to me its somewhat technical suggesting techniques for a rider who rides for 3-4 hours a time, at least 3 days a week covering 70 miles or more.
No doubt this book is crammed with usefull training techniques but i think i need to increase my stamina and mileage before I'm going to make much sense of it.
Hope this helps - I personally might buy another less hard-core book to suit my needs.

Worth it for the turbo sessions alone
A very comprehensive book with some excellent indoor turbo trainer sessions for those of us that hate the contraptions and need every possible incentive to use one (other than the... Read more
