I have read 4 books over the years that have help'd me to get into the cycling form that I have today, along with the insane Fatty Off Season Traing Program. These books are great, cause they help you to design a program towards your specific goals. They are not endurance racing specific, but you can tweek it to your needs. Below I have included the book titles and a link to them at Amazon.com
The Cyclist Training Bible by Joe Friel Good for general racing. Really good if your a roadie.
The Mountain Bikers Training Bible by Joe Friel Similar to book described above, but with more of a focus on core strength, and overall power. All together now P-O-W-E-R
Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition by Monique Ryan One of the best sports nutrition books out there. Easy to read. And fun to read.
Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes by Monique Ryan Another great nutrition book. This book breaks down nutrition programs for cyclists, mnt bikers, tri-geeks, swimmers, runners, etc. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
