Through an integrated narrative, Laura Trott and Jason Kenny retrace the steps of a journey to gold-medal success in cycling at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. They take the reader through their training and preparation (both mentally and physically), the highs and lows of turning professional, and the personal sacrifices endured along the way, and how they were individually inspired to take up cycling in the first place. With Laura and Jason's relationship at its core, this book details how being in the unique position of competing in the same sport, but not together or against each other, impacts their lives. It compares their different experiences of competing at junior level, and explores the roles of family, friends and relationships along the way that led them to the senior circuit, to meeting each other and falling in love. Reliving their individual successes at the World, European and Commonwealth Championships, and the Olympic performances that cemented their positions at the very top of their sport, Laura and Jason explain what keeps them motivated, their future aspirations, and how they hope to encourage the next cycling generation.
