Every Second Counts is a 2003 autobiography by cyclist Lance Armstrong written in collaboration with sports writer and columnist Sally Jenkins. It is a follow-up to Armstrong's My Journey Back to Life which was also written with Sally Jenkins. The narrative begins from after Armstrong's first Tour de France win in 1999 and continues up until his fifth win in 2003.

Following investigations into doping allegations against him, Armstrong was stripped of all his seven Tour titles on October 22, 2012.[1] In Jan 2013, he confessed that some of the allegations were true.[2] In light of Armstrong's confession, the passages about doping in the book are false or doubtful.

Summary

In Paris on 25 July 1999, Armstrong made world headlines by winning the Tour de France after battling against testicular cancer eighteen months previously. A few months after that historic victory, he became a father for the first time. His first book, It's Not About the Bike, charted his journey back to life and went on to become an international bestseller, and to win the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2000.

In Every Second Counts, Armstrong shares more details of his life story, including four more Tour de France wins, an Olympic medal, and the births of his twin daughters, as well as his thoughts on training, competing, winning, doping and failure. He also recounts the work done for the Livestrong Foundation he set up following his recovery from cancer.
