Let's face it: You don't have as much time to ride as you used to. Chris Carmichael's new cycling book, The Time-Crunched Cyclist, presents a new way to achieve competitive fitness and power without the impossible time demands of traditional training methods. In fewer than 6 hours a week, this cycling book helps cyclists develop the snap, endurance, and strength they need to push the pace in the local group ride, have fun and perform well in local races, or tackle challenging century rides.

Drawing on the same concepts Carmichael developed for Lance Armstrong during his recovery from cancer, his new cycling book, The Time-Crunched Cyclist shows cyclists how to build fitness on a realistic schedule by emphasizing the power of high-intensity interval workouts.

This cycling book's Time-Crunched Training Program starts with the CTS Field Test, a method that reveals each cyclist's personal training intensities. Each training plan features a complete set of workouts including intervals, hill repeats, tempo, steady-state, and endurance rides. Carmichael explains how to fuel for high-intensity training. This versitile cycling book provides a time-crunched strength training program and supplemental endurance training blocks for cyclists whose schedules unexpectedly open up.

Complete with training plans, case studies, nutritional guidelines, and success stories, The Time-Crunched Cyclist is the training plan busy cyclists have been waiting for. Cycling is more fun when you are fit, and now great fitness is achievable for cyclists who thought their best performances evaporated along with their free time.
