BIKE: How Lance didit

[Byrnes, Rick]

I just KNEW there was a trick to it!
Thanks, Patrick.

Patrick quoted:
"Armstrong possesses a large, strong heart that can beat over 200 times a
minute operating at maximum capacity and pump an exceptionally large volume
of blood and oxygen to his legs-only around 100 other men on earth, who have
been tested, have comparable abilities and only two other competitive
cyclists that Coyle has tested in the past 20 years have even come close to
Armstrong's 200 heartbeats per minute.

If a normal male college student were to train at a grueling pace for two or
more years, the student's maximum oxygen uptake would not increase above 60
ml/kg/min-Coyle estimates that even if Armstrong became a couch potato, his
would not dip below 60 ml/kg/min."
