Book Reviews of The Ultimate Ride

Book Review: Better than "Lance Armstrong Performance Program"
Summary: 4 Stars

Chris Carmichael did a better job in this book than "Lance Armstrong Performance Program". I think that "The Ultimate Ride" has more details, and does not use the "maximum heart rate" padron of training, but "lactate threshold", as found in Joe Friel's "The Cyclist Training Bible".
However, its much easier to create an anual program with "The Cyclist Training Bible", since the "The Ultimate Ride" is a little bit haphazard in this issue.
The best book of bike training still is "The Cyclist Training Bible"; "The Ultimate Ride" is the second best.
