Performance Cycling: Training for Power, Endurance, and Speed [Paperback] Morris, David

A structured training guide for road cyclists who want measurable improvement. David Morris lays out periodised programs targeting power output, lactate threshold, and aerobic capacity — the actual physiology behind getting faster. The book covers interval training, nutrition timing, recovery protocols, and how to build a season that peaks when it matters. It's practical without being dumbed down: you'll find heart rate zones, cadence drills, and strength work that translates to the bike. Less motivational fluff, more science-backed method. Whether you're training for your first century or shaving minutes off a criterium, this is the manual for cyclists who treat improvement like engineering rather than wishful thinking. Pairs well with a power meter and a spreadsheet.
