Training and Racing with a Power MeterPosted by Blogmaster in Books (Bicycle Racing), tags: Meter, Power, Racing, Training
Product Description In only a few short years, power meters have become an essential training tool for amateur and pro cyclists and triathletes. The first edition of Training and Racing with a Power Meter was largely responsible for popularizing what was once an arcane technology understood by only a few elite coaches and trainers. Now the updated and revised second edition provides significant updates on technology, software tools, training protocols, and workouts, making the benefits of power-based training available to everyone. The new edition also includes specific information for triathletes—the fastest-growing segment in endurance sports—including a complete triathlon training plan. Other significant updates include reviews of the latest hardware, refinements and additions to training plans, additional case studies, more on monitoring fitness and chronic training loads, and revised and clarified artwork, charts and tables throughout. Training and Racing with a Power Meter, 2nd Ed., will continue to be the definitive guide to the most important training tool ever developed for endurance sports.

Italian Racing Bicycles: The People, The Products, The PassionPosted by Blogmaster in Books (Bicycle Racing), tags: Bicycles, Italian, passion, People, Products, Racing
Product Description Over the years Italian bicycle manufacturers have been compared to those Italian fashion designers who are so rightly considered national treasures. The Italian passion for design and devotion to cycling merged long ago, making Italy a wellspring of inspired racing bicycles. An Italian bicycle is more intimately yours, a more personal possession, than bicycles of other origin. This deep understanding of man and bicycle has enabled Italian craftsmen to produce technical solutions appreciated by bike racers the world over. Italian Racing Bicycles tells the stories of the people and products that have forged Italy’s lasting heritage within the sport of cycling. It is a homage to Italian creativity and craftsmanship, qualities that have raised Italian bicycles from mere means of transport to works of race-worthy art.

Product Description This beautifully written memoir is sure to appeal to all cyclists. It contains some of the best writing on competitive cycling—from the cyclist’s viewpoint—ever published. Bruno Schull enters the California amateur racing circuit, and in the course of one long season climbs the rankings to near the top. Along the way he falls in love, and watches a friend die in a terrible cycling accident. Like the film Breaking Away, this is the story of an unknown cyclist striving for greatness. Bruno Schull’s story covers his progress through a dozen local races, paralleled by his intense fixation on the Tour de France on TV. He captures the spirit of cycling at its highest levels, and the more peculiar, unsung glories of amateur racing. Funny, smart, inspiring, elegant—and full of great cycling.
