Hello,

I am an athlete and have been preparing myself for a competition - my specialty is the 400 metres. I am a little overweight, which causes me to become tired around the 250m mark and drop off the pace. Are there any products that can help increase my stamina - legally? Your guidance is needed.

Your problem is that you are a little overweight. Pills won't help that. Loose that weight and you will see your performance improve.

Most runners that train as they should, burn up a lot of calories. Increase you training schedule and you will find that getting rid of that weight is easier.

To answer your question, if something is legal its not effective.

You gotta just work your way up slowly when it comes to athletics. Building your endurance is like building muscle. You have to slowly work your way up to your goal.

So true! Whats amazing is some stuff that is legal is also more dangerous then the illegal stuff. I would venture to say injectable testosterone is much safer then things like m1-T or Superdrol.

Hello,
Being an athlete it is very important for you to be fit for the competition, though taking any kind of medication to improve performance is often illegal. However, I have heard about a product from a reputed company called Melaleuca, who have created an Access Bar that burns body fat - great for increasing stamina. It has been used successfully by an Australian marathon swimmer, Tammy Van Wisse, who broke the New York to New Jersey swimming record in 2006 ([url]http://www.melaleucaproducts.org[/url]). The product will help you to improve your performance and it is also legal, holds numerous patents worldwide, and is available in countries such as Canada, USA, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia Pacific.

Padgett is correct......increase your intensity in training and you'll get stronger and faster. Not sure your exact training routine but start running the stadium/bleachers if one is available to you even it's a high school stadium as that will help build power and speed in your legs.
