Joe Friel's The Cyclist's Training Bible is jam-packed with information, easily the most authoritative book on cycling to date. Friel, a lauded coach and masters athlete from Colorado, adopts the principles of Dr. Tudor Bompa, whose periodization training methods were used first by the dominant Eastern European athletes of the 1960s before becoming popular in the United States. Product Description: The Cyclist’s Training Bible is designed to help amateurs create a training plan and refine the skills needed to succeed in the sport. Divided into five parts, the book covers commitment and common sense, general concepts, training with a purpose, designing a yearlong plan, and practical strategies for reinforcing training. Dozens of photos, charts, tables and worksheets are featured in this edition that includes 25 percent new and updated material. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - It's a MUST readThis book is an all time classic, and a book that every triathlete must read. It's the perfect practical guide to periodization in training for triathlon. Medium to advanced triathletes will be able to plan a very good training after reading this book. Novice triathletes will get much help in understanding the thousands of training programs that one can find free around the web. Rating: - Serious training for serious cyclistVery good book but it is not for everybody. It gives you a lot of details with a scientific approach. This book assumes that that will be doing your homework keeping track of several statistics and metrics. It can get a little bit tricky so you need to be patient. Rating: - This is now my bibleThe author suggests that the target audience of this book is more focused on people with a few years of racing experience, however, as a first year racer, I've found the book to be one that I cannot do without. I consult the book each week when planning my weekly rides, and I look forward to revisiting several parts of the book again once I hit the off season and need to come up with an overall plan to move ahead in racing next year. Rating: - Joe Friel's cyclists training bibleA great book with all the necessary information to turn you into your own coach. Rating: - Good BookThis book is great. If you're looking to get in to racing, this is the one you want.
