Speaking of not absorbing - what is the title (again) of the book that 
outline's Lance Armstrong's regimine?

The Ultimate Ride, by Chris Carmichael.

One of the interesting topics pursued in the book is that of "periodization". 
Minicycles, macrocycles, megacycles--how to build a week, a month, or a year's 
worth of ebb and flow work/recovery cycles that will enable very long term 
continual improvement. the last time I was in Abu Dhabi, writing the 5 year 
plan, I took a marathoner friend familiar with periodization techniques for 
marathoners and that concept was built into the plan. At the time, it was a 
relatively new concept to me. That marathoner, Rob Lyden, has since written his 
own book and his in-depth treatment of periodization is excellent. Google Rob 
Lyden and/or periodization and you'll likely find it.
