A TRAINING PROGRAM SO SIMPLE, IT'S LIKE RIDING A BICYCLE...WITH THE BEST IN THE WORLD!
In 1999 the world watched spellbound as Lance Armstrong achieved one of the most dramatic comebacks in sports history, winning the grueling Tour de France just three years after being diagnosed with advanced testicular cancer. Lance's return road to glory took courage, determination, and a top-notch training program. Now Lance's winning strategies-- developed with coach Chris Carmichael-- can be yours, too! Whether you're a cycling novice or a competitive racer, The Lance Armstrong Training Program will teach you how to:
* find the right bike for your body
* know when to brake (only as a last resort!)
* corner, climb, and descend like a pro
* develop your explosive power to sprint
* incorporate cross-training into your schedule
* build necessary mental toughness...
* and much more!
Simple and focused, Lance's proven program will transform you into the rider you want to be-- in just seven weeks!

Summary: Fundamentals of Riding
Comment: Great book. I can see improvement after few weeks following the 7 week training system. My riding average speed improved from 16mph to 19mph on the same route. I am expecting further improvement in the coming weeks. Lowering my weight to the ideal Body Mass Index also help. Listening to my body and taking my rest heart rate in the morning helps me to determine how much should I push myself later on training or just take a rest for the day. Also got to give the credit to the recovery, strength training and eating tips. All the chapters on skills improvement helps in improving my riding and handling skills.

Summary: This book fired me up... and should fire you up also...
Comment: In fact, I referenced it in my book. As a serious adventure racer, I wanted to learn what Lance did. As a business coach I wanted to learn what Chris did. I urge you to read this book!
