 Do you market this stuff?  If so how can I get hold of it in France or
 somewhere else in Europe?>

I sell one produce, Glycogen Loader, but CarboCharge is less expensive here 
in the US. Our distributor for GL in europe can be contacted at office@gma.at.

Better the distributor--avoids high shipping charges and customs/import 
hassles.

 giving away state secrets what sort of prep did Ben Salou have for this

All of his preparation, conditioning wise, was provided by the same French 
trainer. Over four years, huge mileage and big workouts.

 you suggesting?>

All the way up to and past anaerobic thresholds--190+--for brief bouts. Lots 
of stuff in the 140s.

Yes, sprinkled among long, reasonably slow aerobic works. Miles count!

 I for one am always keen to learn and how I apply what I've learnt is then
 down to me isn't it?>

Sure. But here's a motto for you: "If all you can do is what you've always 
done, then all you can be is what you are right now."  There are no limits. 
It's just a matter of taking things a step at a time.
