Mountain Biking Fitness Training

Rating:
Summary: a useful resource for getting fit
Review: I own several books on mtb fitness training (all the usual subjects) but none of them really appealed to me or contained any realistic training that I could do. Mountain Bike Fitness Training by John Metcalfe is the only one which makes sense. It contains a step by step approach to getting fit. It starts with goal setting, then fitness tests you can do at home, and then how to design a training plan to suit your needs. There is also quality information on nutrition and ultra distance racing.

If you're serious about mountain biking, get a copy - you won't be disappointed.
