Book Reviews of Base Building for Cyclists: A New Foundation for Endurance and Performance
Book Review: THIS BOOK SHOULD BE ON EVERY CYCLIST'S READING LIST
Summary: 5 Stars
Thomas Chapple has taken into account the multi-layered training regimens needed to become a well conditioned cyclist and put them forward in a well written, easy to understand book. Whether a beginner or a pro, Chapple's system is broken down into easy to understand chapters and language that makes implementation easy and effective.
Chapple's clear explanation of how the body's fule systems work (carbodydrates, fat and protein) coupled with a conditioning program that protects the body from injury and over- training is what every cyclist needs. The concept of riding slow in order to get fast is fully explained and guidance on specific implementation of this method of traning could not be clearer.
By following Chapple's program I have found my endurance, speed and enjoyment of cycling has greatly increased.
Summary of Base Building for Cyclists: A New Foundation for Endurance and Performance
Cyclists of any age, experience, skill, and talent level can reach their full potential as both athlete and individual by training their bodies and minds for athletic competition. Ultrafit coach Thomas Chapple shows how with this practical guide. Based on the idea that success depends on the extent to which cyclists build their foundation of aerobic fitness, or their "base," for the road ahead, the book explains step-by-step how to build a bigger aerobic engine, work up to higher volumes, and make significant improvements in strength, endurance, and speed.
