Entrenamiento para ciclistas

Training for cyclists. Peak Overload is an innovative strength-based training program aimed at increasing cyclists' speed, athletic longevity, and overall health in half the time. Instead of improving physical tolerance by riding longer distances, you'll learn to do so by reducing the time you spend pedaling and incorporating strength and power training. Traditionally, cyclists and endurance athletes have avoided this type of training, believing that the additional weight of the muscle would slow them down; however, authors Jacques DeVore and Roy M. Wallack show you exactly the opposite. The Maximum Overload Program uses weight lifting to generate sustainable power and improve speed while dramatically reducing training time and eliminating the dreaded deterioration that often occurs during the second half of physical testing. A 40-minute peak load session two or three times a week replaces a long day in the saddle and gets even better results. This comprehensive program brings a unique perspective on diet, interval training, hard and easy training sessions, and sustainable power. Backed by renowned sports figures, Training for cyclists. Maximum Overloads is a book that no cyclist can do without.
