Sinopse

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.

    A riveting look behind the mask of an NHL goalie, The Save of My Life offers understanding and hope to anyone living with mental illness 
    By the time he was twenty-two years old, goaltender Corey Hirsch had realized his childhood dream of playing in the NHL, won an Olympic medal and drunk from the Stanley Cup. While he excelled on the ice, out of the net Hirsch was plagued by persistent dark thoughts and ceaseless anxiety. On days when he could barely get out of bed, he was able to push aside the endless loop of dark thoughts running inside his brain long enough to win a game. But as soon as he got back home, the agonizing cycle started all over again. And it continued, until finally he was able to confide in a team trainer who helped him get the professional treatment he needed. Diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Hirsch was able to embark on the rocky road to recovery. As one of the first professional athletes to talk openly about mental health, Hirsch wrote about his OCD for the Players’ Tribune. His piece remains one of their most-read articles ever. 
    As Hirsch says, “I am not insane. I am not a bad person. I am not weak. I have an illness, and there is a treatment.”

    A fascinating portrait of the community of people—and one cat—who’ve traveled the trail end to end, by the founder of the Appalachian Trail Museum.   Countless hikers have walked stretches of the two-thousand-plus-mile Appalachian Trail, but only a small, deeply dedicated group has completed the trek all the way through from Georgia to Maine. This book explores the history of the trail through colorful profiles of those who are a part of this unique community and reveals the customs and culture that have evolved around them over the years.   From the sore muscles to the moments of solitude in nature, from the retired postmaster who parachuted onto the top of Springer Mountain to begin his journey to the woman who set out in tennis shoes because she couldn’t find women’s hiking boots in her size, Walking the Appalachian Trail explores questions of who these end-to-enders are, what drives them, what risks they face, and what rewards to body and soul they gain from this extraordinary walk.   Includes color photographs

    Read by the author, Paul Sinton-Hewitt, and his co-author, Matt Whyman. Including an audio-exclusive Q&A between Paul and Matt.This is the story of a simple idea that turned into a global movement. This is the story of parkrun, told for the very first time from the man who started it all.Growing up in the brutal care system of South Africa, Paul Sinton-Hewitt had a lonely, difficult childhood. Yet he found solace in running – a simple pleasure that taught him resilience and offered a young boy a sense of self-worth.With dogged determination, Paul built a stable family life for himself and eventually settled in the UK. But by 2004 he was struggling to hold it all together. He’d lost the successful career he’d worked so hard for, his marriage had broken down, and now a devastating injury threatened to cut him off from the running club which had been a lifeline.In search of connection and purpose, Paul came up with a simple idea. He would start a weekly time trial run every Saturday morning in his local park. There would be no winners or losers, it would always be free and Paul would be there every week – even on Christmas Day – whether or not anyone else came. Little did he know that from just thirteen runners on that first Saturday, parkrun would grow into a 10 million strong community across five continents. Twenty years on parkrun continues to grow, bringing together people from all walks of life in search of health, happiness and community.Filled with hope and optimism, One Small Step is a powerful affirmation of how coming together in simple ways can change our own lives and might even change the world.
