Is there a good diet/fitness book?

[Richard Chaplin]

Hi,just wondering if there is a really good book available that will give me an idea of the best way to get fit/improve stamina,that's purely cycling orientated.

I bought a book from amazon called something like Mountain Bike Fitness Training.. I'd dig out a link but my connection is extremely slow today..

Serious Cycling (Edmund Burke) is really good but then you have to be really committed to make it worth while

[SloBoy - Stronger rotor cuffs is the answer]

Depends how much you into the science thingJoe Friel's Training Bible is interesting - but drives you keep copious plans, notes and records - probably useful for really maximising potential, but a bit overkill otherwise.Mountain Bike Fitness Training is by John Metcalfe

agree with doug, serious cycling is a good book, i haven't got it but have re-read a number of times in waterstones!i am particularly interested in diet and nutrician, cycling+ mag has some good articles on these subjects

lance armstrong has a book out- well co-written with chris carmichael his fitness trainer. can't remember the exact title even though it's on the book shelf at home.cycling specific. deals with all types of different riding styles, nutrition and exercises to improve your biking. it's strap line is that you'll be a better rider in 6 weeks. it's about a tenner from waterstones.

Its called the Lance Armstrong Performance Program I think
