Speed, weight, diet, body image

A study in retrospect of the effects of physical training on an ageing body

This is an abbreviated version of the talk given by John Hilton.


Had to lose some weight

Diet!!

Highs & lows of competing

The highs

And the lows

Spectacular pile up, with me under all of that.

Diet or exercise?

Weight changes withe diet and exercise

Cycles smaller?

Weight variation by year

Now, about competing.

Relating times to water levels is unreliable

Kept a few stats, a few times

Start to see some improvement

Try harder and harder to beat my best

Times recorded at The Narrows by date

As good as it is going to get?

Never imagined how much better I could go, each year

Garmin GPS sims 08

Garmin- analysis shows you what you already know cwa challenge 08

Some of the info using a GPS can provide

Races, always improving

Speed depends on many factors

NOW, ABOUT GOING FASTER..

Training regime

TRAINING SQUAD, STROKE STYLE, SPRINTS


Sprints really show up your weaknesses

But it starts to pay off


Potential- how fast can I go?
