It's very special that the Olympics is in London. As a first Olympic experience, it's going to be pretty incredible.
From Lizzie Armitstead
I'm a very goal-oriented person, so I look at the specific demands of a certain race and tailor my training towards that.
I used to think that in order to be lean, I had to under-eat.
I eat a lot more now than I ever used to. I have taken a real interest in nutrition and believe in the difference that makes when fueling your body correctly. That means never skipping a meal and making sure that my diet supports my training needs.
I have a strong, inspiring, and professional group of women around me with Boels-Dolmans. We race and train incredibly hard as a team.
Most women's races don't pay much at all.
I had to find my own path, and in some ways, it's been a good thing.
My focus has to be on my career.
I'm quite a strong person, and I've become even stronger.
When you are on a climb, you always pick out people's words of encouragement, and it can push us on, without doubt.
