BARRY'S TEN RULES OF TRAINING

Consider health & fitness as work in progress!
Train -- don't strain.
In training it's the time you spend -- not the distance you cover.
You perform as well as you eat -- and sleep.
Drink 250ml every 20 minutes -- more if it's hot.
Stretching properly is as important as the training session.
Never try anything new in a Race -- drinks, clothing or techniques.
Eat some high carbohydrate within 30 minutes of completing a training session.
Try to get extra sleep on the days you train -- a good rule is minute for minute.
Listen to your body -- it's your best friend -- don't let it down and it won't let you down.
