Training

by HarryAndrews (Author)

Synopsis

' I believe that there are very few people who would not derive benefit from a moderate course of training. 'A walk before breakfast is in my opinion worth all the medicine in the world. To the average individual it will be a hard and gruelling task for the first fortnight; but let him take heart from this very fatigue, for it is the surest proof that he is in need of what he is doing. 'Finally, do remember: Weakness is not necessarily an absolute Bar to Athletics' Harry Andrews, Crystal Palace Track, London, S.E. 1903
