Excellent Book August 2, 2007
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Despite the title, cyclists of all ages will find this book useful. There is a great deal of both general discussion as well as specific recommendations for effective training. The sections which are age specific generally are of the form "If you were 20 you would train like this, since you are 50 you need to modify the training like this... (usually allow more recovery)". Thus the discussion becomes relevant for everyone.
Some will probably find the specifics more detail than they are interested in. Fine, take the bigger message (intensity + adequate recovery = ageless perfomance) and you will be way ahead of the game. The discussion of heart rate training is the best I have seen.
Again highly recommended for everyone.
Cycling past 51 and counting... May 13, 2007

Having recently just got back on the bike after a prolonged illness, I was pleased to find this book on Amazon. The excellent training strategies were very helpful. The chapter on psyche was very inspirational. I refer back to it constantly. Over the hill takes on an entirely new meaning.
Valuable Book April 30, 2007

Joe Friel is an experienced cyclist who is over 50. That combination makes this book particularly valuable. Couple that with the knowledge he's acquired as a cycling coach, and author of The Cyclist's Training Bible, The Triathlete's Training Bible, and The Mountain Biker's Training Bible and you can't ask for a better person to write Cycling Past 50. If you've read his Bible training books this probably won't add much, but if you haven't and want to learn about aging and training this is a great book to learn from.

I have several books on cycling but this is one you can read completely. I mean read not just brouse. I've being carrying it everywhere for two weeks.
It helps you understand how your body works, and how to acheive fitness even over 50.
If you are starting again in cycling this is a must. you will enjoy it.
The only extra book you'll need is one about fixing you bike.
