Sinossi

Cycling Records explores the fascinating history of cycling's most impressive achievements, examining the blend of athletic ability, technological advancements, and strategic thinking that drives record-breaking performances. From the grueling stage races of the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, and Vuelta a España to the precise speed of time trials and the extreme distances of ultra-endurance cycling, the book delves into the quantifiable data and the stories behind these milestones. One intriguing aspect is how seemingly small changes in equipment or training can lead to significant improvements in performance, highlighting the constant evolution of the sport.

 
This book uniquely combines historical context with sports science, offering a data-driven perspective on cycling performance. It analyzes power outputs, speeds, and physiological metrics to understand what separates a good performance from a record-setting one.

 
The book is structured in three parts, beginning with the fundamentals of record-setting, then examining specific records in stage racing, time trials, and ultra-endurance cycling, and concluding with an analysis of trends and future possibilities. This comprehensive approach makes the book valuable for cycling enthusiasts, athletes, and anyone interested in sports history and the science of athletic prowess.

    Nick Craig's ground-breaking Helming to Win was published 10 years ago to great reviews: "Many sailing books can be recycles of familiar themes and ideas. Not this one! This is a highly personal and radical, fresh view of the subject area." In the following decade since it was published, Nick has won 10 World, 3 European and 20 National Championships! That's winning more championships than most of us have attended over this period. As an amateur sailor, with a senior full-time job, Nick knows how to make the most of his time on the water. Every race is recorded in his notes, every race builds on his knowledge. This new edition of Helming to Win utilises what he has learnt from those 33 championship wins (and many other less successful events), with new learning, new anecdotes, new photos and additional captions on the photo sequences to ensure the key learnings are easy to take on. This updated breakthrough book will help you make the transition from weekend racer to national champion, just as Nick has done. Covering everything from where to look and getting 'in the groove' to mental approaches and championship sailing, you will be working your way up the leaderboard in no time. Packed full of intelligent insight, brilliant top tips and engaging photo sequences, if your goal is to win then this is the book for you!

    Mental toughness is one of the most significant qualities that separates elite athletes from the rest. It is the inner strength that enables individuals to push through challenges, rise above setbacks, and perform at their highest level despite the mental and physical demands of competition. But what exactly is mental toughness, and why is it so crucial in sports? 
    At its core, mental toughness refers to the ability to maintain a positive mindset, focus under pressure, and persist in the face of adversity. It’s not just about enduring pain or fatigue but also about staying resilient when things don’t go as planned. Athletes with mental toughness embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, which is what allows them to keep going when others might falter. It’s a quality that empowers individuals to conquer their doubts, maintain confidence in their abilities, and perform consistently, no matter the circumstances. 
    The role of resilience in sports cannot be understated. Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. In competitive sports, athletes will inevitably face moments of failure, disappointment, or frustration. A mentally tough athlete doesn't let these setbacks define them. Instead, they bounce back with determination, learning from mistakes and using those experiences to fuel future success. This resilience isn’t just physical; it’s mental. It’s the strength to push past the urge to quit, to stay committed to long-term goals, and to persevere when the outcome seems uncertain.
