Track and field for Masters athletes

This is the first in a series of articles that will cover all aspects of Masters athletes’ training and nutrition for track and field events. Since it is a complex subject that can easily take up hundreds of pages in a book, I will limit the content of these articles and focus on one distance only: the 400-metre. While the 400m is considered a “sprint”, the vast majority of principles I will explore apply to most distances and sports in general.
