If you are a sports type and like to not only watch but also participate, then you are probably in good enough shape to job or skateboard a bike to help keep you where you want to be health wise. Still it is wise to read up on the subjects if you are to remain injury free and at the top of your game. In my personal library, I have many such books on running and cycling for this very reason.
Now then, I'd like to recommend a couple of books to you that have helped me immensely in my sports regiment and training. I will recommend one book on cycling and one on running;
"The Complete Runner" from the Editors of Runner's World Magazine.
This book has been in my library since High School, where I use to run track and cross country. It has great tips in it on training, shoes and how to stay in top form without injury. Also there are sections of getting over injuries if you do get one, and how to stretch out before you run so you do not hurt something. There are sections on how to pick a good running shoe, and most importantly you diet. The other book I would like to recommend is one on Cycling;
"The Complete Guide to Riding and Racing Techniques" by Fred Matheny and Bicycling Magazine. 1989.
If you think choosing the right racing bike is easy, then think again. If you think you can just get on a bicycle and compete in bike racing because you are in great shape, skateboard on. This book has advanced riding techniques, racing strategies and training suggestions, it's filled from front to back with great advice, things you need to know, whether you are competing at the Lance Armstrong level or going out to do a 100-mile charity ride for a worthy cause.
