Be honest: trainers are no fun. But on days when you're short on time or the weather is just unbearable, a trainer or spin bike means staying on track, maintaining your hard-earned fitness, and putting the hurt on your competitors in the early season. Workouts in a Binder(R) for Indoor Cycling makes indoor rides more interesting and much more effective than simply spinning through TV re-runs. This sweatproof book offers 60 workouts from USA Cycling coach and former pro cyclist Dirk Friel and Wes Hobson, ITU medalist and USOC Triathlete of the year. Each workout is designed to produce a specific training effect from Joe Friel's Training Bible approach: Endurance, Force, Speed Skills, Muscular Endurance, Anaerobic Endurance, and Power. You can use a power meter, heart rate monitor, or perceived exertion to make sure you're in the right zone for each workout. Pepper these workouts into your existing training plan or use one of six plans in the book to build your off-season fitness. Workouts in a Binder for Indoor Cycling is sweatproof and spiral bound to lie flat on your spin bike or near your trainer. It's compact enough to travel with you to a hotel gym. Just one problem: Now you have no excuse to bag a ride on a rainy day.

Book Description
Bicycling Maximum Overload for Cyclists is a radical strength-based training program aimed at increasing cycling speed, athletic longevity, and overall health in half the training time. Rather than improving endurance by riding longer distances, you’ll learn how to do it by reducing your riding time and adding heavy strength and power training. Traditionally cyclists and endurance athletes have avoided strength and power training, believing that the extra muscle weight will slow them down, but authors Jacques DeVore and Roy M. Wallack show that exactly the opposite is true. The Maximum Overload program uses weightlifting to create sustainable power and improved speed while drastically reducing training time and eliminating the dreaded deterioration that often occurs during the second half of a ride. A 40-minute Maximum Overload workout, done once or twice a week, can replace a long day in the saddle and lead to even better results. This comprehensive program includes unique takes on diet, interval training, hard and easy training, and sustainable power. Backed by the most trusted authority in the sport, Bicycling Maximum Overload for Cyclists is a book that no cyclist should be without.
