4.0 out of 5 stars A good training guide for novice racing cyclists, 6 Sep 2000

By	Sean Bolton - See all my reviews

This book is aimed at the aspiring racing cyclist who wants advice on all aspects of cycling. Topics covered include bike setup, diet and nutrition, riding skills, clothing, as well as training advice.

Carmichael's training system is based on the familiar Heart Rate zone system where the athlete performs various training sessions in each of the effort zones. The training plan presented is based on a seven week period aimed at peaking for a particular event.

What is missing is advice on constructing a year round training schedule. As most amateur cyclists have a season based on winter endurance and frequent summer racing, the seven week cycle is not the most appropriate.

This book also contains some detailed training sessions for improving different aspects of cycling such as sprinting, hill climbing and time trialling. These sections are well structured and will be useful to most athletes who are looking to improve on specific aspects of their cycling.

Strangely, there is no advice on indoor turbo training. For most cyclists, this type of training is essential during the dark winter season to maintain fitness. Instead, Carmichael includes a detailed chapter on weight training.

Overall, I would recommend the book more to the novice cyclist who has little experience of structured training or racing. The more experienced cyclist will find some of the training sessions useful, and can glean some useful hints and tips from the book, but may find much of the advice too basic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, 28 Feb 2003

By A Customer

When i book this book id been cycling for years but never really that seriously, id never used a heart monitor and never used clipless pedals before. After a good read I took in some of the advice, i got a heart monitor and soon realised that most of my workouts were way too intensive, and using the clipless pedals correctly was like learning to ride a bike all over. There is a lot of good advice in there for the newbie rider who is serious about seeing what they can get out of their body and bike. After a while you realise that its by no means a comprihensive manual but there is alot of stuff in there such as adive on nutrition, pedaling mechanics, bits of bike maintainance, mental attitude, off season training and loads more. It kick started me into a whole new world of cycling and id recommmend it for anyone who wants to get serious on the bike.
I also noticed after reading the whole thing you get an idea of the importance of training and how if done correctly can improve an athlete many many times over. It shows that a guy like lance, even before he was hit by cancer, doesnt just jump on a bike and start winning races, it takes time, effort and commitment, there are always improvements that can be made and compromises that must be made. I think this book is chris carmichaels glimpse into some of the things that made lance armstrong a better cyclist and they can work for everyone who is willing to put them into practice.
