ATHLETES BEWARE
GOOD ADVICE—AND BAD
Many young runners who have started out on their athletic careers this season will no doutt be advised by well-wishers to do this 'and that in training, that certain foods are good for them, others bad, some of which advice may be helpeul, though most of it will be wrong. Going into training still means in th 2 minds of many people changing th« whole tenor of one's ordinary existence, but actually it means nothing of the kind. Good, wholesome food, which it is known agrees with one, net too much, of course, and well masiicated, and regularity of eating, are all that most athletes require in the way of diet. Plenty of sleep, ten hours if possible, in a well-ventilated bedroom, and in actual training the application of common sense are principles the observance of which- will lead no runner astray. The chief things to remember during physical preparation are to make haste slowly, when not competing to remain warmly clad, and to seek the advice only of those competent to give it.
