Masters track and field athlete Mark Gomes returned to athletic prominence after a 15-year layoff using a combination of traditional and unusual training and dietary tactics. This book provides a great how-to manual for other athletes in their 30s and 40s returning to competition. It also provides a compelling account of the psychological factors that drove Gomes to compete again, an account that caused him to reflect back to his Division I running career at Northeastern University (and some odd - and sometimes comedic - events that occurred there). This book provides: Gomes' full training and workout regimen Gomes' specific dietary approach Gomes' approach to certain injuries Gomes' approach to mental attitude and outlook to keep training fun
