Friel called the fifth edition &#8220;all new&#8221; because instead of editing the previous edition once again, he started with a blank page and rewrote the book. As he says, the only thing that stayed more or less the same was the table of contents.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to buy the latest edition, because the science of training has come a long way in a short time. Also, as Friel points out, the &#8220;all-new edition allows for individualization by considering the reader\u2019s unique cycling phenotype\u2014his or her sport-related strength\u2014in recommending how to train&#8221;. The links in this post take you to the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3KasRhw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">latest edition of the book<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The book is available as a paperback, Kindle, and Audible. I recommend the paperback because it is easier to refer to and page through. Also, it has worksheets, charts, visuals and a dense index and references for further reading. These would be hard to use in a Kindle or an audio book.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s Inside the Covers of Joe Friel&#8217;s <em>Cyclist&#8217;s Training Bible<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>First of all, this training Bible is almost as long and wide-ranging as the original <em>Bible<\/em>. It covers cycling training, strength training, periodization, racing, nutrition, supplements, injuries and overtraining. All the usual suspects, plus a bunch of extras. It goes all the way from training fundamentals to planning your training season. And it includes often overlooked features, such as mental performance.<\/p>\n<p>Appendices include useful extras like an Annual Training Plan Template and a Training Diary Template. The only thing I found conspicuously missing was any advice on losing weight by cycling. But I think that the primary target market for this book doesn\u2019t need to lose weight (imagine that!).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24257\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24257\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3KasRhw\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"24257\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/7-tips-to-become-a-mountain-biker\/mountain-bike-adventure-biking-woman-420\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Mountain-Bike-Adventure-Biking-woman-420.jpg?fit=750%2C420&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,420\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Mountain-Bike-Adventure-Biking-woman 420\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Mountain-Bike-Adventure-Biking-woman-420.jpg?fit=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Mountain-Bike-Adventure-Biking-woman-420.jpg?fit=750%2C420&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-24257 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Mountain-Bike-Adventure-Biking-woman-420.jpg\" alt=\"Friel's definitive guide to bike training will give you the knowledge you need to cycle further and climb higher!

Maggie warns me that I\u2019m too excessive. But the reality is, I ain\u2019t got <strong>nothing<\/strong> on the Joe Friels of the world. I have weeks when I slow down, or don\u2019t see the inside of a gym. Then I start to feel guilty. And then I need the kind of motivation I find in this book. Like the stories of people over 50 vastly improving their fitness.<\/p>\n<p>Also motivating are <strong>Joe Friel\u2019s 10 Commandments of Training<\/strong>. One of these days, when I\u2019m motivated enough, I\u2019m going to type them out and stick them to my fridge. They\u2019re mostly obvious, but they\u2019re powerful and cut to the chase. They include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cTrain Moderately\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cTrain Consistently\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cGet Adequate Rest\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cListen to your Body\u201d and<\/li>\n<li>\u201cCommit to Goals.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Joe Friel&#8217;s <em>Cyclist&#8217;s Training Bible<\/em> Explains How to Use Gadgets to Train More Efficiently<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>Apart from motivation, there is a depth here that will make Joe Friel\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3KasRhw\"><strong><em>Cyclist\u2019s Training Bible<\/em><\/strong><\/a> a resource that most people will keep dipping into for years to come. I just wish I\u2019d got a hard cover! For example, when I first read this book, many years ago, I finally understood what Power Meters are for, and how they can be used with Heart Rate Monitors to accurately measure progress. The book also made it crystal clear to me that I could not train even half seriously without a heart rate monitor, so I finally bought one.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Related Post: <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/reasons-bike-interval-training\/\">7 Reasons to Do High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on Your Bike \u2013 and How To Do It<\/a><\/h3>\n<h2>Bottom Line on The Cyclist&#8217;s Training Bible<\/h2>\n<p><strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3KasRhw\"><em>The Cyclist\u2019s Training Bible<\/em><\/a><\/strong> is <strong>not<\/strong> just for Serious Athletes.
