This book, written by a race physician and licensed Cycling Federation coach, shows cyclists how to achieve better results and speedier recovery times by causing physiological changes that maximise this effect. Through the use of scientifically proven methods, traditional workout routines are taken to a new level, helping readers reach more stringent training goals. Readers learn how to develop and follow a training plan tailored to their own unique physical needs, leading to greater endurance and enhanced all- around performance.
