The Time-crunched Cyclist by Chris Carmichael
As cycling's popularity grows with men and women in their thirties, forties, fifties, and beyond, the traditional ideas about training for endurance sports need a new approach to reflect the daily challenges faced by parents and working professionals. In The Time-Crunched Cyclist, Chris Carmichael presents that new approach to cycling training. Using elements from the same program he designed for Tour de France winner Armstrong, this guide shows how to build competitive cycling fitness on a realistic schedule -- a schedule that fits into the busy lives of today's active middle-agers. Complete with training plans, case studies, nutritional guidelines, and success stories, The Time-Crunched Cyclist shows cyclists how to push the pace in the local group ride, have fun, and perform well in local races, or tackle a challenging 100-mile fundraiser ride without committing to a high-volume training program.Before becoming a coach, best-selling book, and entrepreneur, Chris Carmichael was an Olympic and professional cyclist. Since 1990, he has coached top cyclists and has been named the U.S. Coach of the Year by the International Olympic Committee, and was inducted into the United States Olympic Hall of Fame. In 2003, he was inducted into the Bicycle Hall of Fame. He was the men's road coach for the United States.
He was the head coach for the United States Olympic Cycling Team for the 1992 Olympic Games. Team for the 1996 Olympic Games in cycling. In the year 2000, Carmichael founded Carmichael Training Systems (CTS) with the goal of making world-class coaching knowledge accessible to everyone. CTS quickly established itself as the preeminent destination for personal fitness, nutrition, and performance coaching and camps because to Chris's leadership and an unrivaled education program that produces the industry's best-trained coaches.
Top amateur and professional athletes continue to flock to CTS, including Ironman(R) world champions Craig Alexander, Tim DeBoom, and Normann Stadler; Olympic triathlon gold and silver medalist Simon Whitfield; NASCAR drivers Carl Edwards and Bobby Labonte; and five-time U.S. Katie Compton, a national cyclocross champion, and Ryan Trebon, a two-time national cyclocross champion.
