Choice of books on training for cyclists

[Blair P. Houghton]

I saw these titles in an LBS the other day. Anyone got
any reviews?

1. _The Lance Armstrong Training Program_ (Only didn't buy it instantly
because it only counts 5 of his TdF wins...I'm waiting for the sequel
with the GOOD info in it).

2. _The Cyclists Training Bible_

The titles are approximate; I was taking quick notes into a Palm,
not photographing the LoC page.

If you are racing are racing, the latter book is extremely good.

I'm thinking about racing again, but the way I got smoked
yesterday (I was just past the end of my last training lap
and yipping over the time I'd set, and there was a group
of three guys ahead of me so I spin past them at full
cadence - maybe 23 mph in my current state - instead of
warming-down, and I guess they took offense, because half
a mile later the big one with the Deutsche Bank jersey and
the real-deal gastrocnemeii slams past me doing about 28
sitting down on a short 10% grade I was huffing up...) I
think I'm going to need time and an objective methodology.
