In 1999, Lance Armstrong made world headlines with the most stunning comeback in the history of sport after battling against life-threatening testicular cancer just eighteen months before returning to professional cycling. His first book, It's Not About the Bike, charted his journey back to life and went on to become an international bestseller.

Now, in his much-anticipated follow-up, Armstrong shares more details of his extraordinary life story, including the births of his twin daughters Grace and Isabel. Never shy of controversy, Armstrong offers, with typical frankness, his thoughts on training, competing, winning and failure. He also tells of the work he did for the foundation he created following his dramatic recovery, addresses the daunting challenge of living in the aftermath of cancer and treatment, and shares further inspirational tales of survival.

A fresh outlook on the spirit of survivors everywhere, Every Second Counts is an account of a man who strives every day to meet life's challenges - whether on his bike or off.

Every Second Counts was first published in October 2003. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey in January 2013, Lance Armstrong admitted to having taken performance enhancing drugs in all seven of the Tours de France in which he competed between 1999 and 2005. He was officially stripped of these wins by the UCI, the world governing body for cycling, in 2012.

Bought before the subsequently revelations

21 January 2014

Verified Purchase

Everything in here needs to be taken with a grain of salt now that the revelations of last year on the drug taking endemic in the sport. But it's well written, and still interesting in some respects.

A good interesting read regardless of the scandal that followed afterwards. The world's elite cyclists will always be just that regardless of any "assistance" due to insane training regimes.

We like these apples!

25 September 2003

The original writing style is retained; an open and honest discussion of some most personal moments. I thoroughly enjoyed it, thought provoking and more subtle than 'INATB' but somehow a little more relevant to the day to day of mere-mortals. LA doesn't have all the answers, and he shares that with us. It is a truly facinating story with insights and touching moments that stay with you. I can forgive the blatant product placements in the text given the support Trek, Nike, Oakley et al have him and also because of the gracious words he uses to describe his peers & team-mates, even down to why Jan Ullrich didn't race Le Tour in 2002.
He describes the tours, olympics and personal challenges in a pithy and frank way, he retains a few F-words when retelling some dialogue that, for once, seem justified. His personal relationships with his wife, children and close friends are explored retaining dignity but sharing some lessons for us all.
Highly recommended book for everyone, not as dramatic as his fore-runner but the message is as important - he is still trying to find a balance post-cancer, sieze the day is all well and good, but then there is another day, and another and another ...
