practical guide tot high performancecycling
This book offers practical advice for every serious cyclist, triathlete or coach. It offers an excellent overview of current sportscience literature including the 'translation to the daily sportspractice'.

Topics as eg altitude training, periodisation, nutrition and equipement are explained by top researchers in the field.

As a triathlete myself I found interesting points to improve my performance.

Edited by Asker E. Jeukendrup, written in most part by others.
I brought this book because Asker is an advisor for a major professional team in europe, Rabobank. However when I got the book it turns out that Asker is the editor and has written a minor portion of the content 3 out of 22 chapters. The content of the book is actually written by a number of different people and as a result there is no continuity in the book. The chapters themselves provide a very high level overview of the topics with not enough detail to turn the information into practice. There are many better books out there. Disapointing to say the least..........
