“I am now running, at 59, the sort of times I was running as a 19-year-old.” - Bruce Tulloh

It wasn’t long ago that sport stopped when you left college. Those attitudes were self-fulfilling prophecies. We said that we were too old for sport, so we stopped taking exercise, so we couldn’t perform as well as we used to.

That’s hardly surprising.

Things suddenly changed when people voted with their feet and the running boom started. Many of us joined in and are still benefiting from it.

Whether you class yourself as a ‘master athlete’ or not, this new book is for you.

Recent advances in sports science have shown that athlete, as well as the average person (that is to say, an unfit person), can reverse most of the effects of ageing by using the right exercise and nutritional programmes.

This new workbook belongs on everyone’s reading list, no matter what age they are. Readers will find it an effective and proven antidote to the ageing process. The recommended retail price of Training for Master Athletes is $59.99, but through our website, you pay only $34.99 (£20.64)! That’s a 42% saving!

Why this isn’t your usual off-the-shelf best seller!
All the examples given in this new workbook, and some defy belief, are based on scientific research.

As you know, this kind of sports and medical research costs a great deal of money. We have access to the papers, however, and have analysed and adapted them for the novice runner at a nominal cost. And they make fascinating reading.

The workbook has been prepared by the Peak Performance team of experts, including
physiologists, nutritionists and masters athletes.

It covers a comprehensive range of subjects with one principal aim in mind: how to overcome the consequences of getting older and still produce winning performances, stay healthy and, most importantly, continue to enjoy yourself.

‘I can’t perform as well as I used to’
Readers of this new workbook will discover this does not have to be true! We give a host of examples that belie these attitudes:

- A 70-year-old weight-lifter is stronger than the average 30-year-old

- The ballet dancer of 70 is more flexible than the average young adult

- The 70-year-old marathon runner will easily outrun the majority of 30-year-olds.

Such people owe their achievements not to the fact that they were outstanding when they were younger but to the fact that they have continued to practise the activity that they enjoy.

They are determined, and have the knowledge. This gives them the ability to continue into old age.

If you want more examples, the book has many of them:

- Jean Borotra and Kitty Godfrey playing tennis into their 90s

- Edward Weston, who walked across the USA and back in his mid-70s

- Ron Taylor, who could run 100 metres in 11.3 seconds at the age of 60

- Cliff Young, who won the first Sydney to Melbourne race at the age of 61

Remember - in 1900 people were considered old in their 40s; just 40 years ago people seemed old in their 60s; but today many do not feel old in their
80’s, a phenomenon you can share with your copy Training for Master
Athletes!

Here is a chapter by chapter break down of what you’ll find in Training for Master Athletes:

How old is old?: A top sports scientist asks: ‘Is the ageing process inevitable – or simply the result of “detraining”?’

Personal experience: ‘I am now running, at 59, the sort of times I was running as a 19-year-old National Serviceman’

Nutrition for older athletes: These are the best foods and supplements to protect your joints from age-related degeneration

How to keep up to speed: The bad news is that speed declines with age; the good news is that you can arrest and even reverse this process

How to stay flexible: A sports physiotherapist shows why flexibility is so important to keep ageing at bay, and explains the science behind it

Nutritional supplements: Could ALA and ALC combine to form the Elixir of Life for ageing athletes?

What the scientists say: How fitness protects the aging brain...

What the scientists say: ... and improves memory in mid-life

What the scientists say: Power vs endurance: what goes first in the ageing stakes?

What the scientists say: Bone maintenance in older runners

What the scientists say: Older athletes actually reduce the risk factors for heart disease

What the scientists say: This exercise regime will boost bone density and lean muscle mass

What the scientists say: Why the muscles shrink with age – and what to do about it

What the scientists say: Do the young respond more effectively to aerobic training? Don’t you believe it!

What the scientists say: And finally, here’s a group of elderly hour-a-day exercisers who are aerobically 30 years younger
