DP and I did read this book, and I thought it was good; it helped me develop a training program which seems to be working well. Then we got the Cyclist's Training Bible by Friel, and I'm learning even more. If you're going to buy one book, buy the Training Bible.

The Over 50 book is like the TB, except with more emphasis on giving yourself ample time to recover. It seems particularly aimed at Over-50 racers who spent their younger cycling careers using a bleed-from-the-ears-I'm-not-working-hard-enough-unless-I'm-on-the-verge-of-death mindset.

But both books are good. Happy reading, planning & riding!
