This should inspire us!

As I was reading about an article about the science of Lance Armstrong, I am truly amazed of his achievements: winning the Tour de France for the 7th consecutive victory.

Whilst science may have proven how he could have done, leave no doubt in your mind that it is sheer hard work and having a very positive mind that brought success to him.

From 1992 to 1999, the year of his first Tour de France win, Armstrong was able to increase his muscle efficiency by 8 percent through hard and dedicated training. Ed Coyle (director of the Human Performance Laboratory at the University of Texas at Austin) says Armstrong is the only human who has been shown to change his muscle efficiency.

However, surviving cancer almost certainly made Armstrong a stronger athlete mentally. Sports scientists agree that Armstrong is one of the most disciplined and focused athletes in the world.

Truly amazing!
