5.0 out of 5 stars A must have training book for mountain bikers, 17 Jun 2001
By A Customer
At last a book about mountain bike fitness- how long have we been wating? This book is a definite 'must have' if you're into mountain biking and want to improve at it. Metcalfe has got a good writing style and can get tricky concepts across with ease. The book is full of good information on: fitness assessments (and D.I.Y. fitness tests), nutrition, aswell as plenty of workouts. I found the section on designing your own programme particularly helpfull. I'd definately recommend this book to any mountain biker.

5.0 out of 5 stars read this book and ride better, 8 Nov 2001
By A Customer
It is obvious that Metcalfe knows his stuff as do most authors on fitness and training. However, his excellent turn of phrase and writing style make this book a pleasure to read rather than the typical chore.
I have studied sport science in the past and was impressed with his choice of examples to illustrate his points. Often the penny dropped and I understood concepts that had previously confused me.
After reading the book, I have done the recommended fitness tests, set myself goals and have designed a training program. I now feel confident about my training, but the real test is whether I get fitter and can ride my bike better!
