Synopsis
Excerpt from Long Distance Running and Training
In the old days pedestrians used to make themselves believe that in order to accomplish anything of an athletic nature it was necessary to lay down certain hard and fast lines as regards food, from which it was little better than suicide to depart. The modern athlete is wiser in his day and recognizes that it is not necessary to gerge with raw beef, or to over-heat his blood, in order to be in prime con dition. In those davs it was thought becoming to eat big chunks of underdonemeat, to feast on eggs and to do all kinds of things that made training a wearisome, unpleasant and exhaustive task. To-dav we eat of such food as we fancy in a moderate wav, and we are thf better for it in health and performance.
