In her informal yet informative style, Jahiel offers sensible answers to riders' most common training challenges. In a handy, accessible Q&A format, Jahiel uses real-life case studies to bring troublesome situations to life and then solves the problems with tested, proven solutions. The book's combination of basic training theory, effective solutions, and handy tips and strategies will help riders get the most out of every training session.
