All these great athletes never once mentioned the fact that you need to understand your PHYSICAL STATE OF ORGANIZATION. To be able to see it, which means you must learn to read the very contours of your body. As a former olympic champion(his name:George Rhoden, 1952 400 meter Olympic champion from Jamaica) once said " we must learn to look at our feet as the start of a linear projection involving the ENTIRE BODY"! Read a book by Ida Rolf on the structural integration of the body!

Mary Decker as a blonde??? hmmm, I don't know... Anyway, could identify with what she said about when she was healthy and felt good, she'd train until she got injured.
