Lance Armstrong Performance Programme

In 1999 Lance Armstrong staged what many consider to be the most dramatic comeback in sports history, winning the Tour de France just three years after his body was ravaged by cancer. He has since gone on to win that event a record seven times.

His courage and determination are legendary but it took more than just Lance himself to make it all happen: he got there with the help of the program, the training regime created for Lance by his coach Chris Carmichael. Now, in this updated edition of The Lance Armstrong Performance Program, Carmichael and Armstrong share the exercises, riding schedules, endurance builders and mental tricks that brought Lance back to competitive racing and on to the pinnacle of world cycling.

Full of advice and personal anecdotes from Lance and his coach, this book will show you how to ride at your best in just seven weeks. Whether you are a novice or a pro, you too can ride the same path as Lance to achieve your personal best.

Lance Armstrong is a professional cyclist and seven-time winner of the Tour de France. He has credited much of his success to his coach, Chris Carmichael, who was voted the 1999 US Olympic Committee Coach of the Year. Peter Joffre Nye is the author of several cycling books.
