You can do your research on the web, but it will take longer and you could easily end up with misconceptions. We have a reasonably active
training and nutrition forum here
Yup..a book is very much in the offing (new year gift to self), once I am billed for the current credit card cycle
Prior to the book you recommended I was thinking about "The Complete Book of Long-Distance Cycling: Build the Strength, Skills, and Confidence to Ride as Far as You Want" - Edmund Burke.
However after the one you suggested, I am checking its reviews on Amazon.
Also in the process of checking the reviews for "The Cyclist's Training Bible". So far am loving it. Might be inclined to buy this one! Hope it would be the best choice
