JASON KOOP LEADS AN ULTRAMARATHON TRAINING REVOLUTION
Koop’s New Book, Training Essentials for Ultrarunning, Reveals His Unique Training Approach
When elite ultrarunners have a need for speed, they turn to coach Jason Koop. Now the sport’s leading coach makes his highly effective ultramarathon training methods available to ultrarunners of all abilities in his new book, Training Essentials for Ultrarunning. Koop’s book is now available in bookstores, running shops, and online. See a preview at velopress.com/koop.
Ultramarathoners have traditionally piled on the miles or tried an approach that worked for a friend. Yet ultramarathons are not just longer marathons; simply running more will not prepare you for the race experience you want. Ultramarathon requires a new and specific approach to training. Training Essentials for Ultrarunning will revolutionize training for those who want to race an ultramarathon instead of just gutting it out to the finish line.
Koop’s race-proven ultramarathon program is based on sound science, the most current research, and years of experience coaching the sport’s star runners to podium performances. Packed with practical advice and vetted training methods, Training Essentials for Ultrarunning is the new, must-have resource for first-timers and ultramarathon veterans.
Runners using Training Essentials for Ultrarunning will gain much more than Koop’s training approach:
* The science behind ultramarathon performance.
* Common ultramarathon failure points and how to solve them.
* How to use interval training to focus workouts, make gains, reduce injuries, and race faster.
* Simple, effective fueling and hydration strategies.
* Koop’s A.D.A.P.T. method for making the right decisions to solve a race-day crisis.
* How to plan your ultra season for better racing.
* Course-by-course coaching guides to iconic U.S. ultramarathons: American River 50, Badwater 135, Hardrock 100, Javelina 100, JFK 50, Lake Sonoma 50, Leadville 100, Vermont 100, Wasatch 100, and Western States 100.
* How to achieve your goal, whether it’s finishing or winning.
A revolution is coming to ultrarunning as ultramarathoners shed old habits and embrace the smarter methods that science and experience show are better. Featuring stories and advice from ultrarunning stars Dakota Jones, Kaci Lickteig, Dylan Bowman, Timothy Olson, and others who work with Koop, Training Essentials for Ultrarunning is the go-to guide for first-time ultrarunners and competitive ultramarathoners.
Shoulder to Shoulder: New Book from VeloPress with Photos of Cycling’s 1960s Superstar, in Newly Restored Vintage Photographs from The Horton Collection
Posted: December 10, 2015 Filed under: Cycling | Tags: Bike Riding, Cycling, Shoulder to Shoulder, The Horton Collection, VeloPress Leave a commentBoulder, CO, USA – November 16, 2015 – A new cycling history book, Shoulder to Shoulder, presents more than 100 newly restored vintage cycling photographs from The Horton Collection that showcase cycling’s first superstar, Jacques Anquetil, and the riders of the 1960s.

With a comb in his pocket, his glamorous blonde wife by his side, and an unyielding will backed by blazing speed, Jacques Anquetil became cycling’s leading ambassador as the sport left behind the post-war era of Fausto Coppi to embrace the promise of the freewheeling ’60s.
Shoulder to Shoulder ushers readers into the zenith of Anquetil’s career with a fully restored collection of rare and valuable photographs. With the methodical son of Normandy in the lead, cycling’s professional peloton races through Europe’s capital cities and up its mountainous pathways, laying a path to a cosmopolitan era of unlimited possibilities.
Presenting more than 100 brilliant images-most unseen since their original publication in the magazines and newspapers of the day-Shoulder to Shoulder showcases the rise of a generation of cycling superstars whose gutsy riding and easy style founded the modern era of professional bike racing. Great names in these pages are Rik van Looy, Tom Simpson, Raymond Poulidor, Jan Janssen, Miguel Poblet, Rudi Altig, Federico Bahamontes, Jean Stablinski, Gastone Nencini, Jean Graczyk, and many more.
With an appendix of explanatory notes for each photo, a sewn, lay-flat binding, and premium acid-free paper, Shoulder to Shoulder will be an enduring addition to every cycling enthusiast’s library.

New book on how to train with a power meter on a bike
Posted: September 20, 2012 Filed under: Cycling | Tags: Cycling, Joe Friel, Power Meter, training, Triathlete's Training Bible, Velo, VeloPress Leave a commentPower meters do not allow you to be misled the way a heart rate monitor may
If you don’t know how to use it, a power meter is just an overpriced cycling computer. Joe Friel’s new book The Power Meter Handbook makes understanding a power meter easy. In his friendly user guide to power meters, the most trusted coach in cycling and triathlon offers a simplified approach to using a power meter for road cycling, triathlons, time trials, century rides, and Gran Fondos. The Power Meter Handbook is now available in bookstores, bike and tri shops, and online. Preview the book at http://rec-law.us/PsMO2C.
Friel’s approach to power meters can immediately improve a cyclist’s speed and power. After learning Friel’s recommended ways to set up a power meter for specific uses, riders will master the basics and learn their key power numbers. By focusing on the most important numbers, cyclists and triathletes will discover hidden pockets of power, find ways to improve their pacing, and find out how many matches they can burn on any given day.
The Power Meter Handbook includes weekly training schedules to prepare more efficiently for road racing, time trials, triathlons, and century rides. Riders will match their training to their upcoming race or event schedule and push their power envelope step by step. Friel explains how to sift through noisy data to find the numbers that matter, pinpointing fitness changes to peak predictably for key events. Friel’s 12 power-based workouts will build up a rider’s power profile through aerobic endurance, muscular force, sprint speed, and climbing ability.
Power meters aren’t just for racers anymore. Friel’s Power Meter Handbook makes it easy for any cyclist or triathlete to find new speed with cycling’s most effective training tool.
