 Nutrition for Soccer and Athletics
Following the regiment of a healthy diet that supplies the macro- and micro- nutrients in proper amounts may be discouraging to some individuals since it is often associated with a lower weekly weight loss (1-2 lbs/week).
While malnutrition is often associated with inadequate energy intake in developing countries, in wealthy, industrialized countries it is often a result of eating too much, or too little of some components of the diet.
Excesses and deficiencies of certain foods, according to Gaman and Sherrington (1990), are associated with "diseases of affluence." Foods currently consumed by Americans provide most vitamins and minerals in adequate amounts.

 Marathon & Beyond -- The web site for marathoners and ultrarunners.
Pheidippides, a career foot messenger (or hemerodromos; translated: "all-day runner"), has been spinning in his grave for some 2,000 years, as it was some 500 years after the Battle of Marathon that his death at the gates of Athens was created-by a Roman, no less.
The program that follows will be more successful if the runner comes to it with at least three years of endurance running on the joints, ligaments, and muscles; an ability to comfortably maintain a base of 30 miles per week; and a regular involvement in racing at shorter distances.
Because most amateur long-distance runners work full-time jobs and have a life outside running, the program does not require more than 55 miles per week of training at its maximum; the program stresses quality over quantity but assumes the runner has been consistently involved in a quantity of miles per week on an ongoing basis.

Plot Synopsis: The film follows the life of famous 1970s runner Steve Prefontaine from his youth days in Oregon to Oregon University where he worked with the legendary coach Bill Bowerman, later to Olympics in Munich and his early death at 24 in a car crash.
I read his biography as a high school runner and admired his dedication and commitment to a sport I was only just being introduced.
The story of Prefontaine is an inspirational one, for sure, but this seemingly "TV movie" version of the great distance runner's life, doesn't exploit either the heart of a human story, nor the excitement of competition.
