The Lance Armstrong Performance Program

The Lance Armstrong Performance Program (Paperback)

by Lance Armstrong (Author), Chris Carmichael (Author)

Excellent condition

This book is aimed at the aspiring racing cyclist who wants advice on all aspects of cycling. Topics covered include bike setup, diet and nutrition, riding skills, clothing, as well as training advice.

Carmichael's training system is based on the familiar Heart Rate zone system where the athlete performs various training sessions in each of the effort zones. The training plan presented is based on a seven week period aimed at peaking for a particular event.

What is missing is advice on constructing a year round training schedule. As most amateur cyclists have a season based on winter endurance and frequent summer racing, the seven week cycle is not the most appropriate.

This book also contains some detailed training sessions for improving different aspects of cycling such as sprinting, hill climbing and time trialling. These sections are well structured and will be useful to most athletes who are looking to improve on specific aspects of their cycling.

Strangely, there is no advice on indoor turbo training. For most cyclists, this type of training is essential during the dark winter season to maintain fitness. Instead, Carmichael includes a detailed chapter on weight training.
