It is possible to improve athletically over the age of 50 with a debilitating neurological condition? Furthermore, improvement may come in the absence of athletic genes (or slightly favorable). In this gripping bio, author Patrick Bohan strived to achieve athletic success with a debilitating neurological condition for four reasons. First, he wanted to see if training techniques could alter muscle protein composition overcoming physical limitations. Second, if training could teach the body to bypass diseased cells by creating alternate neural pathways for the brain and muscles to communicate. Third, if cycling is the great equalizer in sports. But can cycling as a sport enable older individuals and people with disabilities to remain fast and competitive? The final question is, can disease influence personality traits such as resiliency, grit, and mental toughness to overcome physical limitations such as pain? Author Patrick Bohan puts this question to the test in ways that place the reader on the edge of mental and physical challenges unmatched by anything you have ever read.
