The Mountain Biker's Training Bible Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I began mountain biking February of this year('03).I threw up on my first ride.I raced my first race in April and came in 22nd of 24 finishers.I bought this book in May.About five months later I was flying through our local tough park, Markham maintained by ClubMud.org (believe it or not we have some decent cross country MTB parks in Florida).I went from a best single lap of over an hour to multiple laps of 45mins each.In the fall Ford Tough Series I placed 2nd overall in my category (Men Beginner 30-34).What a rush!
The book was hard to read at first.Mainly because I wanted it to hand feed the training procedures to me.It finally dawned on me that it was training material for the self-coaching athlete that I, my own coach, had to put into a regiment based on my needs.It required that I get in tune with my body and its needs.I still reference it and still realize things in it I didn't before.The nutritional information was a big help in modifying my diet without dramatically impacting my family's eating habits.This is a book you have to read from cover to cover to get the most out of it.It's also wise to take the book's advice when taking training seriously and ease your body into it(although no-pain-no-gain does apply).I went from the slowest guy amongst my friends to the fastest after about eight weeks into the book.If you're not serious enough about getting faster to shut off the TV and read for a while for a couple of weeks than pass the book and stick to the magazines with all the pictures of guys you could otherwise be.
Thanks Joe Friel.
