[#6194348]

I have read a fair bit over the years, from lots of different resources, books, magazines & the interweb. I understand quite a lot a lot of the concepts in isolation. But what I don't seem to be verry good at is bringing it all together in creating a training plan.

So I am looking for something that is quite practical rather than just the background theory, preferably something lighter than Friels bible, and definitely not the "time crunched cyclist" {which I gave up on after 2 chapters of being told what a great method this is, without even starting to reveal any of the supposed methodology, my time is too crunched to read chapters of marketing for a book I have already bought FFS),

Any recommendations?

James Wilson's online stuff is brilliant - assuming this is for MTB not road?

I find the Friel one superb. There's a lot of content, but really only one chapter to read if you're trying to plan a season etc.
