BARRY'S TEN RULES OF TRAINING

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