The Flying Dragon: Mountain Bike Cross Country Training Plan

By Lee Williams

Human physiology and the body's ability to adapt to strenuous exercise hasn't changed for thousands of years and certainly hasn't changed just because of modern day sciences. Science allows us to understand the process better or can help with 'marginal gains', however, it shouldn't let us forget the basis for any training programme and that is "if you work hard enough, often enough, you WILL get better "

This book doesn't just provide a 6-12 week training guide like you find with other 'training' style books, but a blueprint on how to mold or focus each phase of a training year, all the while not losing focus on what is key... the love for the effort A positive mindset gets us out the door everyday, but a TRUE honesty to yourself, to PUSH through that pain, IS the most rewarding

Aside from the obvious physical training, there are plenty of tips, hints and personal insights on utilising psychology to encourage a positive approach to training, racing and the lifestyle in general. It's a long road ahead, so you might as well get the mind right to be willing to accept the inevitable.
