In response to the workout and diet question: Do something every day, the veggies are not part of my program. That is JJ's thing. I do not have the patience for it, and do not know enough about it to make it work, but I will say that keeping the meat down a tad makes keeping the weight off a lot easier. I get heavy fast with too much meat. When I say "diet", I am thinking more in terms of the timing of what you eat, not the content. I eat anything and everything I feel like eating, but workout twice per day , seven days per week other than dive days where that is not possible. I do long workouts, but 20-30 minutes per day is adequate to get the results you want. The key, as in everything else , is to "show up" every day and get it done, no matter what. Long workouts make you a lot stronger, fast workouts make your capacity go way up. I go long and then throw the hammer down at the end to get both effects. When I am short on time, as when I am in New York, I run wide open for as long as I can, usually one hour, but I get between 9 and 10 miles done that way. When I have Volker to ride with, we go 100 miles at a time, 50 slow at about 20, and 50 in the high 20's, low 30's with a pack. When I do not have Volker to ride with, I ride 20-40 at whatever I can hold by myself without drafting behind or in front of the pack. For swim, I do one straight 3500 meter swim for timimg purposes per week, and the rest of the week I do whatever the coach has us doing , mostly faster "interval" stuff for 60-90 minutes. Othersise, if you use machines in a gym, but warm up on a tradmill first, you can really hit it hard and get a good workout. I also do some weights for strength. There I do a series of quick warmups with few reps to get to a high weight, and then do ones and twos to a maximum weight. This prevents getting tight or sore later, but gives you incredible strength. It also keeps the size down somewhat . That part I space out to about once in three weeks. > > George > > I see you mentioned this on Techdiver. > > Is there actually a prescribed program covering exercise, diet etc for the > EOTL team divers? > > If so what exactly is it? > > -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
