Meet the Author

Robert Panzera, MA, is a USA Cycling certified coach and NSCA-certified strength and conditioning specialist. In 2009 he received his master’s degree in kinesiology with a specialization in biomechanics. Panzera is a competitive cyclist in road, track, and cyclocross events. He is the owner and operator of Cycling Camp San Diego (CCSD), which specializes in week-long training for serious road cyclists. The camp is particularly popular with performance cyclists who want to make the leap to racing. During the camps, participants typically ride more than 60 miles per day with total elevation gains of 4,000 to 8,000 feet. Panzera and CCSD take pride not only in physically training cyclists but also in preparing them to race via instruction in bike handling, nutrition, and cycling psychology.

    So you wanna be a better bike rider..

    I think Cycling Fast is the perfect tool for many, many cyclists who may have a bike and a burning ambition to ride it, but just don't know what the next steps are in developing as a cyclist.

    I especially enjoyed the "A Pro's Experience" where Rob brings the highest level riders into clear focus for the rest of us as they deal with the same issues and experiences as we, the average cyclists', do.

    Also extremely useful are the sections about the psychology of riding and periodization of training, both critical elements of Cycling Fast.

    Cycling Fast is a must-read guide for anyone (not just racers) looking to find their direction and to take those critical next steps in upgrading their cycling capabilities.

    Cycle faster with Cycling Fast

    Coach Robert Panzera's new Cycling Fast is a great place to start for the recreational cyclist who wants to get a solid start to road racing. It is also useful for early-career racers looking to hone their skills and, more importantly, to improve the overall effectiveness of their training and racing programs.

    Panzera pays particular attention to the all-important mental aspect of cycling, something too many beginner and intermediate racers overlook. Other useful chapters include an overview of equipment choices and bike fitting; proper nutrition; and year-round training.

    I am a relative newcomer to Masters racing and have worked directly with Coach Panzera for two years. Readers of Cycling Fast will benefit from the same mix of practical experience and theoretical knowledge that has enhanced my own training and racing.

    Like most modern coaches, the author draws heavily on periodization theory - the planning and scheduling of workouts in a structured way to build upon, and complement, one another. The general scheme rests on a series of concentric or overlapping cycles of varying durations, and Cycling Fast provides an overview of the theory as well as useful practical drills pegged to specific training periods and goals. Training with heart rate and power are discussed in detail.

    Cycling Fast is clear and well-written, with plenty of examples drawn from Panzera's practical experience as a racer and coach and from the sports science literature. The text is also enlivened by sidebars quoting established professionals, often in their own words. Useful diagrams, photographs, and text boxes on specific topics complete the package.
