Cycling Past 50 Cycling Past 50
About the Product
Conventional wisdom says that middle-aged cyclists should slow down and expect to achieve less as they grow older. But in Cycling Past 50, author Joe Friel shows cyclists that with proper training and the right attitude, the years after 50 can be their best ever.
Written for cyclists of all types-road riders, mountain bikers, track
racers-this book provides an in-depth look at the full range of
considerations for cycling successfully into and through middle age.
Joe Friel, a writer and contributing editor to several top cycling
publications and a dedicated rider himself, will inspire cyclists
toward better performance and more biking enjoyment as he presents:
• basic principles of training;
• advanced workouts to improve endurance, climbing ability, and sprinting;
• training advice for 100-mile events and multi-day tours;
• planning tips and a workout program for getting into racing form;
• injury prevention tips and exercises; and
• body fueling advice.
In addition to explaining the physical adjustments seasoned cyclists
can make to keep their biking effective and satisfying, Friel discusses
the mental aspects of cycling successfully into middle age. He explains
the importance of developing a positive attitude, maintaining a high
level of motivation, and taking pride in their accomplishments. He also
reminds cyclists that, above all, biking should be a fun activity that
should be shared with fellow riders, family, and friends.
