training book

I ordered Joe Friels book but its too conceptual and doesn't provide any specific workouts..... does anyone know of a training book or other resource that explains how to make a training plan and provides you with specific workouts to do it...

Trombley

I thought Ann Trombley's "Serious Mountain Biking" was very good. It includes more drills than Friel's book. I thought both were excellent. Amazon $20.

Stumbled upon this book just as things began to warm up. So, I haven't tried many of the work outs. It does have training plans for cyclist and triathletes. Plan to use it next indoor season (November - February for me).

Workouts in a Binder for Indoor Cycling by Wes Hobson and Dirk Friel

Has anyone used it?

One book with included training plans along with quite a few other workouts is "The Lance Armstrong Performance Program: 7 weeks to your perfect ride."
