  • The Inside Track
    The official autobiography of the Rio Olympics’ golden couple LAURA TROTT & JASON KENNY THE INSIDE TRACK This inspirational autobiography explores the world of two of the UK’s most successful athletes, how they were inspired to take up cycling, the highs and lows of competing, and what it is like being cycling’s golden couple. Through an integrated narrative Laura Trott and Jason Kenny retrace the steps of a journey to gold-medal success at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Taking the reader behind the scenes of British cycling’s Olympic training and preparation (both mentally and physically); this book explores the difficulties of turning professional; the personal sacrifces endured along the way; and their inspirations and motivations to keep competing. From Bolton and Cheshunt to Beijing, London and Rio, this combined autobiography has Laura and Jason’s relationship at its core, while detailing how being in the unique position of competing in the same sport, but not together or against each other, impacts their lives, and how it can be both a blessing and a curse. It compares their different experiences of racing at junior level, and explores the role of family, friends and relationships along the way that led them to the senior circuit, to meeting each other and, eventually, falling in love. Reliving their individual successes at the World Championships and Commonwealth Games, and the Olympic performances Published in Hardback that cemented their positions at the very top of their sport, Laura 10th November 2016 and Jason explain what keeps them going, and exactly how one Michael O’Mara Books becomes a nation’s most successful Olympic athlete.

  • This Post Came from a Group Called Supertraining
    This post came from a group called Supertraining. Paul Rogers is the Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Australian National Sprint Cycling Team. Enjoy! Australian track cyclists more or less dominated the Athens Olympics track program with six gold medals. Here is a unique view from the strength and conditioning coach. My apologies if the following has been posted previously. It is doing the rounds of some bike forums, so some may have already seen it. There's no name on it and that's how I came upon it, but the guy's name is no secret. Just a few points of interest. Ryan Bayley, mentioned below, won the Athens individual sprint gold. Check out the last paragraph for some insights into the last thread on 'endurance paradox'. Note the squat and jump data. My oh my! --------------------------------------------------------------------- "I am currently the Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Australian National Sprint Cycling Team and have been for about five years. I am also the Strength Scientist for the South Australian Sports Institute in Adelaide, Australia, where the National Sprint Program is based. In addition, for "fun", I help coach a group of developmental sprint cyclists, which form the core of our SA State Sprint team and half of whom are now in the Top 10 sprinters in Australia, which would make them National champions in all but a handful of countries and, when I get time, I roll around the track myself. Some points (for free): 1. We don't keep any secrets from anyone, including the Poms, the Frogs, Ze Germans or the Yanks.
