Title: A Mistitled Book
Review: I recently began biking in order to add some variety along side my primary activity which is swimming. I bought this book in order to learn something about mountain biking. If that is also your reason for buying this book then look elsewhere. Despite it's title this book has very little direct contact with mountainbiking. It has zero instruction on technique.I think that the major problem is that the book is mistitled. This is a very well written book on periodized training for the endurance athlete. What Mr. Friel writes is applicable to any endurance sport and most of the text is not specific to mountain biking. It is also directed towards the very serious and experienced athlete.In conclusion: this is an excellent book on periodized training, both theory and practice. If that is what you are looking for then buy this book. If you want to learn about mountainbiking - look elsewhere.
