"You must live by rule,
submit to diet,
abstain from dainty meats;
|
|
Exercise your body
perforce at stated hours,
in heat or in cold;
drink no cold water,
nor, it may be, wine.
In a word, you must surrender
yourself wholly to your trainer,
as though to as physician. "
- Epictetus -
(on training for
the Olympic Games)
