Summary

Great Scottish Bike Rides is a guide for cyclists who seek out the hard, the remote and the rewarding.
Dave Barter – author of bestselling guidebook Great British Bike Rides – presents 25 of Scotland's most compelling road cycling routes, linking legendary climbs, long, empty glens and stretches of deserted moorland.

You're safe in the knowledge that Dave has carefully designed each route, so each offers unforgettable climbs, quiet roads and stunning scenery.
Each ride is accompanied by detailed route information, bespoke mapping, an elevation profile and downloadable GPX files – everything you need to ride with confidence.

    From basic tenets of training to nutrition guidelines, this is the first resource for runners to fully integrate nutrition with training for a complete and systematic pre-race plan. “A must for marathoners”(Library Journal). 
 
Every year, roughly 2 million people participate in marathons and half marathons in the United States, and, no matter what level they are, every one of these runners has likely hit “The Wall,” running out of muscle fuel in the final miles and slowing down precipitously. This setback and  
other common running disappointments are nutritional (or metabolic) in nature. In The New Rules, renowned fitness journalist and training coach Matt Fitzgerald cuts through the myths, distilling the most up-to-date science to help runners overcome the universally experienced nutritional  
barriers that prevent success in the marathon and half marathon. 
 
Fitzgerald’s powerful and easy-to-use tools will enable runners of all levels to attain their ideal racing weight, calculate their precise daily energy needs, and formulate a custom nutrition plan.
