Training and Eating Tips from Cathy Freeman for the Aspiring Track Athlete
07 May 2010
I would suggest a few simple nutrition tips, to to eat...
- loads of fresh fruit and vegetables.
- Bread, rice or pasta twice a week.
- Red meat once a week.
- White meat 3 times a week.
- Eat dairy foods for young developing bones eg glass of milk three times a week.
- Remember breakfast is the most important meal of the day!
- Don't forget to eat immediately after exercise to help your body recover and get ready for the next piece of exercise.
- And last but not least keep hydrated drink plenty of water every day.
- for those who are under the age of full physical growth, that is 19 years of age. I would suggest training around 3 times a week
- Running on grass instead of hard surfaces where possible to avoid stress fractures to your developing bones.
- Also, have fun trying out different types of sport. It is a sure way to keep you fit for your athletics. Try things like netball, swimming or touch football at School.
And in terms of training…
