The Outdoor Athlete: Total Training for Outdoor Performance

"The outdoor athlete, writes Steve Ilg, "seeks not an arena, but embraces the whole globe." From a focus on individual personal achievement, Ilg explores nutrition, aerobic training, strength training, recovery, flexibility, and mental skill training in general and then specifically relates each to cross-country and downhill skiing, technical climbing, mountaineering and backpacking, kayaking, and cycling.
