The Cyclist's Training Bible Description
Coach Joe Friel is the most trusted name in endurance sports coaching, and his best-selling book The Cyclist's Training Bible is the most comprehensive and reliable training resource ever written for cyclists. This new edition includes all of the latest advances in training and technology. Using The Cyclist's Training Bible, cyclists can create a comprehensive, self-coached training plan that is both scientifically proven and shaped around their personal goals.
Friel empowers athletes with every detail they need to consider when planning a season, lining up a week of workouts, or preparing to race. This fourth edition includes extensive revisions on the specifics of how to train and what to eat. Friel explains how cyclists can:
- best gauge intensity with power meters and other new training technology to maximize form and fitness and reduce fatigue;
- more knowledgeably and accurately make changes to their annual training plan over the course of a season;
- dramatically build muscular endurance with strength training;
- improve body composition and recovery with smarter nutrition.
With more case studies to draw from and multiple contingency plans for those times when training doesn’t progress as planned, The Cyclist’s Training Bible continues to be the definitive guide to optimal cycling performance.

I bought this book (3rd edition) when I first started road cycling. I used the knowledge from this book to develop my own training plan and start racing. After applying the principles of this book, the results have been incredible, I went from being dropped on group rides to leading the pack and racing with great results. Joe Friel's training bible lays out your training regimen with the proper balance of intensity, duration and recovery to maximize results. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to break the limits of their cycling fitness. It is certain that if you follow the training cycles as outlined including base, build, recovery, peak, and race phases you WILL improve your cycling and be faster and have more endurance than you ever had.

I bought this book based upon a presentation made at our bike club and after reading other reviews. I am not a hard core biker, though I have raced cyclocross and done a couple of centuries.
This book is addressed to the hard core racer. Having said that it has some good ideas that regular people can use to improve their general fitness and get faster on a bike, or just to get more fit. I am not sorry I bought it, and now use my version of Lactic Threshold Heart Rate (LTHR) training. It is a step up from what I used to do which was hard day / easy day training based upon above or below 70% of Heart Rate Reserve. (Max - Resting)
