New Book Helps Cyclists Maximize Early Season Training

/Bicycling News Articles/ - BOULDER, CO, December 20, 2006 — Just in time for the winter training months, VeloPress is pleased to announce the release of Base Building for Cyclists: A New Foundation for Endurance and Performance.

Cyclists often think that preparing for next season means piling on the miles, but long rides at high or even medium intensities too early in the season can actually do more harm than good. In a comprehensive guide to early-season training, elite USA Cycling coach Thomas Chapple explains why cyclists should slow down to speed up.

Base Building for Cyclists is the first book to focus exclusively on the all-too-often overlooked foundation period that can make or break a racing season. Focusing on weight lifting and low-intensity training in the early season, Chapple presents specific, goal-oriented training plans that maximize efficiency.


Base Building for Cyclists will help cyclists:

· Lose body weight and gain muscle mass,
· Raise their fitness ceiling,
· Improve continuously, year after year,
· Rebuild their aerobic engines to burn fuel more efficiently,
· And extend their speed and fitness.

Thomas Chapple is a licensed elite-level USA Cycling and USA Triathlon coach and an Ultrafit Coaching Associate. He has competed at the national level in downhill mountain bike racing, and regionally in road and track. Since he started coaching in 1997, he has enabled competitive athletes to advance from the local ranks to placement at national and world championships.
