Don't let age be an excuse
Introducing the Ageless Athlete…The elite individual who doesn't accept decreased performance as a symptom of age. Who doesn't accept that he is past his personal best.
"Six years ago I
thought I had reached the end of my running career. I was constantly
suffering at the hands of a knee injury, and my times had dropped
considerably. My body seemed like it was just giving up. I felt old and
I'd lost the one thing that had kept me running for over thirty-five
years: motivation.
Since reading The Ageless Athlete I
have been able to pin point problem areas in my training and my body
has started to recover. What's more, my confidence has grown and I wake
up everyday anticipating the day's training. As a result I have
reduced my 100m time by 0.7 seconds, my 200m time from 29.5 to 26.5 and
my 400m time from 66.3 to 60.8… I'm now beating competitors half my
age."
Lionel Frost, Runner, 51 years old
This guy is special. His
dedication to sport is not affected by his age. If anything he uses it
as his motivation and not an excuse.
He
knows that knowledge, coupled with years of training experience,
provides him with the power to reach the pinnacle of his sporting
career even though he is entering his fifties. And he certainly isn't
afraid to compete with athletes half his age, because he knows he can
match them step for step… he knows that he can BEAT them.
