    Best Beginning Cycling Training Guide

    OK, so here I am, a 50-something guy who hasn't done squat to stay in shape since the Reagan administration. I stopped drinking, gave up smoking and have traded these beloved addictions for a fitness addiction. Got my bike fixed up, started riding again, and decided to look into getting some solid training guidance so I don't die a premature death by, say, deluding myself into thinking I can cover 50 miles in 2 1/2 hours (like I could in the Carter administration). Went out and bought a bunch of cycling training books, all of 'em good, but I wish I'd gotten this one first. If you're starting anew and afresh, trying to make a comeback and defy middle-age and the spectre of death, this is the one that will convince you to start out slooooow and easy and to do that for a loooooong time, so you can make nice, steady progress without burning out or hurting (or offing) yourself. This book goes into lots and lots of technical detail as well, explaining all the various parameters of cycling performance: heart-rate zones, power meter-based training, diet, nutrition, and training plans. Well-written and well-organized, up-to-date. Sensible stuff for someone like me.
