Description
An accessible and easy-to-follow guide for road cyclists looking to defy the years and ride faster and further.
Getting older does not mean getting slower. Improving your performance is achievable despite the advance of the years. If you are a midlife rider who wants to ride faster and for longer, Full Gas Forever provides the complete guide.
Ed Clancy OBE, a three-time Olympic gold-medal winning cyclist and stretching and flexibility expert 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.
