Fitness News: Lance Armstrong Reveals Workout Secrets and Provides Exclusive Daily Updates from the 2009 Tour de France

lance armstrong tour de franceAfter months of grueling preparation, bicycling legend Lance Armstrong has returned to competition in the 2009 Tour de France, his twelfth entry.

Armstrong can appreciate how training has gone totally high-tech since he first started competing. “Back in the day, people trained on just their feelings,” said Armstrong. “Now you have heart rate, altitude, lactic acid all measured on one unit.”

Armstrong’s killer workout routines would make him certain that he would finish on top. “I knew I was ready to win the tour,” he said. “If I stepped on the scale in the morning and it said a certain weight and the power output was where it was supposed to be when I tested at the end of the day, it was over. Nobody close.”

Now Armstrong is providing exclusive behind the scenes blog posts, videos and photos directly from the 96th Annual Tour de France bike race which runs from Saturday, July 4th until Sunday, July 26th. Click here to follow the coverage.
