                  Forged by Speed by Steve Peat

                  In a little over two and a half minutes on 6 September 2009 Steve Peat cemented his place in mountain biking history, becoming downhill world champion at the seventeenth time of asking and by a winning margin of just five hundredths of a second. In Forged by Speed, Steve shares his incredible story, from the Steel City to the top step of the world championship podium. Honest, compelling and funny, it is the autobiography of a British sporting legend.

                  The Climbing Bible Managing Injuries

                  The Climbing Bible: Managing Injuriesby Stian Christophersen is the indispensable guide to injury prevention and rehabilitation for climbers. It describes the most common climbing injuries that the author frequently encounters in his clinical practice, and examines how they can be diagnosed and treated – and even prevented from occurring in the first place.

                  It is split into three sections:

                  1. How to manage acute soft tissue injuries and overuse injuries.
                  2. Detailed management, rehab and prevention information for common climbing injuries.
                  3. An overview of pain science – what is pain, really?
