David O’Meara, The One Mile Runner, inspires older athletes (30+ years old) to learn how to avoid injury, recover quicker and develop functional strength. These attributes are essential to achieving peak performance in any competitive sport.
As you age, your body responds differently to intense exercise and ultimately alters the way you need to train, prepare and recover. David uses his personal experience as a coach, trainer, and masters runner to evaluate exercises, techniques and products to help you exceed your performance goals.
David’s own aspirations drive him to continually refine his processes and push his body to new levels of athletic performance. Essentially, he has created a personal “laboratory” to discover new training methods and prove his theories. David has been sharing his proven training and recovery techniques via blog videos. These videos are now available in HQ via YouTube.
On 8/30/09, David accomplished his 61-day, 2009 challenge as he completed the "SmoothToe® New England Marathon...One Mile at a Time” in 2 hours, 7 minutes, 9 seconds and 14 one-hundredths... beating his sub-5 minute mile target of 2:11.
David is now planning his 2010 Feat of Speed, "Around the World in Less Than 30 Minutes" where he will run 6 one-mile races, in 6 weeks, on 6 continents in less than 30 minutes total race time. Details of the event preparations are available on his blog.
At age 46, David has proven that he can consistently run a sub-5 minute mile. But running 12 mph is not something you just wake up and accomplish without a lot of help. It takes special equipment, proper nutrition, and an understanding of how your body changes as you age. In 2010, David’s blog is less focused on his goals, and more focused on helping you achieving yours. David has once again invited his personal consultants to share some of their unique health & fitness ideas.
David's latest book, Creating Amazement, is now available from Amazon.com. The book shares 20 attributes that he learned during last year’s 20/20/20<5@45 event, and puts into perspective what it takes to achieve truly amazing results in your own business and personal lives. If you would prefer a signed copy of the book, please contact David by completing our "Ask a Question" form.
We hope that you find David’s efforts inspirational.
