10/2/96 is the date Lance was diagnosed with testicular cancer. 10/2  is now the logo of his cancer foundation along with LiveStrong. His race number was also 1002 yesterday and he had 10/2 on his t-shirt. He has a whole line of 10/2 clothing on sale to benefit his foundation at laf.org.

He didn't take drugs, he just trained harder than anyone else.\n\nAn independent physiologist familiar with the study commented: “This study shows that long term training has a lot bigger effects than we thought. They followed Armstrong – a well-known hard trainer – and the changes in his efficiency over seven years are really quite amazing. We wouldn’t be surprised if some major physiological changes happened, but here’s a real quantified example.”\nHe added: “Generally there are two ways to improve efficiency: Train your maximum capacity to be very high, or train your sub-maximal capacity to be very efficient. In Armstrong’s case, he did both. In the lab they measured his performance against standard oxygen consumption and by the end of the study he was much more efficient utilizing the same amount of oxygen. But on the road,” he pointed out, “it means he can go faster and get more guys off his wheel.”\nEffect of cancer, therapy nil\nThe period that started when Armstrong was 21 and just turning professional and ending at age 28 with his first TdF victory, also included his cancer diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy and recovery. About eight months after chemotherapy ceased (August 1997), Armstrong was tested in Coyle’s laboratory in the same manner as in his other four visits. The results showed that he “displayed no ill-effects from his previous surgeries and chemotherapy” and were in line with measurements expected from highly trained athletes during periods of detraining, Coyle added later.

he's in his 40's\n\ngoogle "when was lance armstrong born"\n             "where does  "        "           live" etc...\n\nYou should get what you need that way, always works for me when I need to know something.

Awesome news!\n\n  I was unaware of this, so thanks for the good news.\nIvan is a great cyclist, with a great attitude and one of the best mountain climbers in the world (easily in the top 5).\nI think Basso is a much better fit with the Discovery Team then with his old CSC team. \n\nI'm also a big fan of Tyler Hamilton, who was suspended, due to doping (wrongly) accusations two years ago. Tyler has a very similar riding style, when compared with Ivan Basso.\n\nRemember all of the past TDFs where Lance Armstrong and Hamilton where always side by side on the mountain. stages? I don't know if Ivan would be able to endure the pain that Tyler did in the 2003 TDF, where at the end of stage 1, he was involved in a 35 rider accident where he broke his collar-bone in two places. He continued on to win the 17th stage and finish the Tour in 4th place overall.\n\nSo, as far as Discovery Team taking on Tyler's 28 year old, Ex-CSC teammate, Ivan Basso?  It should be an awesome move for everyone involved. \n\nI could easily see Ivan taking the Discovery team back to the Yellow, hopefully restoring the world's confidence in an American team once again.\n\nI can hardly wait!\n\nResponse to Ross:\n\n   By the way Ross, watch that stage again!  Ivan never beat Lance! That mountain stage win was a courtesy win given as a gift to Basso from Armstrong. Lance has a lot of respect for Basso and considered him to be a rider that could one day take his place. Watch the tour footage and you'll see Lance wave Basso on before reaching the finish. Lance gave up several yellow jerseys to other riders that he felt deserved it, as long as he had the overall lead, that was all that matterd to Lance.\n\nResponse to Doping Accusations by the (angry) Europeans:\n\nI myself, have never touched a drug in my life, yet years ago I tested positive twice, by the sport I was involved in. I retested again and was found innocent on both accounts.\n\nThan again when I was 17, I failed a polygraph that I was completely truthful on. I didn't get the job I was applying for, but I learned an important life lesson, not all test are fair and without fault.\n\nAs far as Floyd Landis, I can't be sure one way or the other. I hope that Landis is innocent, but that jury is still out for now.\n\nAs far as Tyler Hamilton, I without a doubt believe that he was wrongfully accused and hopefully he will soon be vindicated.\n\nEuropeans: Get over it! The Americans are here, they're viable contenters and they're here to stay. So shut up, get in that saddle and ride.

i think you should start off and biking twice the many miles you used to run. Then, slowly add like 1 mile per two days or something

The legs (proper pedealing technique is important to getting a well-rounded workout) and heart benefit most from cycling.\n\nAny amount of exercise is better than none, I ride 60-100 miles each week.

There is no official world record for 40 yards.\n\nThe shortest distance that the IAAF, track and field's international governing body, recognizes for world-record purposes is an indoor 50 meters, or about 54 yards. It is 5.56 seconds and it was set by Canadian sprinter Donovan Bailey in 1996. There is also a world record for 60 meters -- 6.39 seconds by American Maurice Greene in 1998.\n\nBut it is another Canadian, Ben Johnson, who is believed to have run 40 yards faster than any human in history. Johnson is best known for injecting copious amounts of steroids and winning the 100 meters at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul in 9.79 seconds, only to have his gold medal and world record stripped after failing a post-race drug test.\n\nTiming officials have since broken down that famed race into 10-meter increments, and Johnson was so preposterously fast that he went through 50 meters in 5.52 seconds and 60 meters in 6.37 -- both under the current world records at those distances. He went through 40 yards that day in 4.38 seconds.\n\nHe was running in spikes . . . on a warm afternoon perfectly suited for sprinting . . . with a slight tailwind . . . with years of training from arguably track's top coach, Charlie Francis . . . with Carl Lewis and six others of the fastest men on the planet chasing him . . . with 69,000 people roaring at Seoul's Olympic Stadium . . . with hundreds of millions of people watching on TV . . . with the ultimate prize in sports, an Olympic gold medal, at stake.\n\nAnd, as we learned later, with muscles built with the assistance of the anabolic steroid stanazolol.\n\nFour-point-three-eight seconds.\n\nThen again, maybe Ben Johnson isn't the fastest 40-yard man in the world.\n\nMaybe half the NFL is faster.\n\no o o\n\nIt can be the most important few hours of a football player's career. It is the day NFL scouts come to campus to determine whether prospects have what it takes to play at the next level.\n\nPlayers are measured to the quarter-inch. They're weighed to the half-pound. They do a vertical jump and a standing broad jump. They see how many times they can bench-press 225 pounds. They do a 20-yard shuttle drill and something called a three-cone drill. They are put through a short workout specific to their position.\n\nBut it is something else that commands everyone's attention, something else that interrupts the businesslike atmosphere of players shuffling from one station to the next. Something else that causes scouts and spectators to snap to attention.\n\nThe 40-yard dash.\n\nIt is the day's shortest event, and the most critical. No other statistic carries more influence for an NFL prospect, no single number has more impact on his draft fortunes. It's not called Pro Scouting Day or Pro Prospect Day or Pro Workout Day. The sign taped to the weight-room door at San Diego State on March 19 says: "Pro Timing Day."\n\nOr as local football agent David Caravantes puts it: "There's football speed and there's 40 speed, and the scouts will all tell you they understand that and game film is the most important thing. But how many defensive backs who ran a 4.6 are left on the draft board ahead of guys who ran 4.3?\n\n"I'll give you another example. There's this DB who was originally projected as a first-rounder. But he didn't run the 40 that fast -- something like 4.6 instead of in the 4.4s -- and now they're talking about him slipping to the second round. Well, he's looking at a minimum $4 million signing bonus if he goes in the first round and only about $1.6 million if he goes in the middle of the second round.\n\n"You do the math."\n\nThe players are inside the SDSU weight room being measured and weighed. In the hallway outside are their agents, pacing. Nervously. Occasionally they'll walk outside, look up at the sky and stick out an upturned hand to feel the raindrops.\n\nThis is not good. The plan, according to t

It means you run a mile in 8 minutes, thirty seconds.   Pretty decent pace, but not real speedy.

I'm a fellow cyclist who recently complete a 100 mile ride with 2500 other cyclists.  Many of whom were heavy.  They looked great in their cycling jerseys.  You are doing man!!!!! Keep it up and be proud........

Two miles?! I would think it would be good enough. Geez! Maybe you should talk to your P.E. teacher or princable because 10:35 is GREAT!!

I believe if it was truly something Lance wanted to accomplish, then he would train and achieve that challenge.\n\nHowever, I think he is satisfied with his cycling record and wants to get on with his family life

It has been documented that Armstrong did not wear his Speedmaster on his walk on the moon. An instrument had malfunctioned during the LEM's Decent and his Speedmaster was left in the LEM to serve as a replacement.

Lance Armstrong is an absolutely legend an inspiration to everyone who deserves to go down in history for his attitude, courage and achievements.\n\nHowever, as for sporting events themselves England winning the Ashes was sheer magic and I was lucky enough to be out of work at the time to watch every single, nail-biting second of it. Since our test win against South Africa we've improved no end n this was the peak of it. The way it was played and won was incredible, and the Auzzies (Shane Warne in particular) were a joy to watch. If we'd have lost it'd still been the best.\n\nJust a shame we got battered in India.

Both are two of the greatest and toughest athletes in sports. Favre's wife has cancer, and he played a great game after his father's death. Although he leads the league in INTs this year, he is a sure-fire Hall of Famer no matter what he does the rest of his career.\n\nBut my vote as toughest would go to Armstrong. He survived cancer, and went on to win seven straight Tour De France. Cycling isn't such a popular sport anymore now that Lance has stopped. I'm not saying I like one over the other, though. Both are incredible people.
