AN EXPERT GUIDE FOR ROAD CYCLISTS LOOKING TO DEFY THE YEARS AND RIDE FASTER AND FURTHER

Ed Clancy OBE, a three-time Olympic gold-medal winning cyclist and fitness writer, flexibility expert and midlife cyclist Lexie Williamson, are the ideal people to guide you through the strategies, training, benefits and pitfalls of going full-gas in your fourth or fifth decade. Mixing anecdotes, insights and personal experiences from their own sporting lives, you will find practical guidance on the following:

· exercises to enable riders to work on this area of fitness.
· off-bike preparation
· ride fuelling through a nutritionally focused diet
· recovery strategies
· injury prevention as well as advice on avoiding overtraining.
· dealing with injuries and adapting your training plan accordingly
· specifically designed programmes to smash the sprints and outlast the others in a test of endurance.

Whether you're looking to scale those peaks, smash those sprints or outlast the others in a test of endurance, this book shows just how it can be done.
