Meyer Meyer Sport

One of the most significant evolutions in modern sport has been the emergence of world-class performances by master athletes. Over a wide range of sport - from golf to marathons and ironman triathlons, from swimming to football, from rowing to track &amp; field - athletes who, in the past, would have stopped their activities in their thirties or younger, now carry on. No longer is anyone too old to compete and a whole new competitive area has opened up for sportspeople ranging in age up to their seventies.

Running With Lydiard

A jogging handbook. It renews Arthur Lydiard's philosophy of jogging, just as it was 40 years ago. It is a guide to why you should jog, if you are not jogging already; how you jog, or jog better if you jog already; and how it holds back the degeneration that does not necessarily have to accompany the advancing years. Lydiard argues that jogging will not stop you growing older but it will help you to grow older more gracefully and with less loss of both physical and mental mobility.
