There are a lot of athletes still around that consumed a lot of protein in their youth and if they were all dropping dead of kidney disease we would have heard about it in the news! Anyway, whether or not consuming that much protein is healthy or not is not the point. Athletes, bodybuilders and sports-persons do it for performance, not long term health!

This is ridiculous. The studies in this area are far from conclusive, and cite aging, asthmatic geriatrics as their evidence, not world class athletes.

I got sick and tired of the pain; went to see the doctor. He told me to go to the gym and do weights to 'burn' it off. He also told me to try different diets during this rehab to see what worked. 6 months later and i am gout free and 25kg lighter, training 2x a day for football, cricket and a healthy life. I eat very little carbs concentrating on protein; my energy sources in my current 3 month diet are the same %'s that you state for Bolt, which is why i comment. Im down to 9% body fat and have never felt better and according to some of the comments in this stream i should definitely be poisoned by my protein intake which is huge, usually more than 400 grams pr day. Protein is a fantastic energy source, dense, energy rich wihout the problems associated with fats. i see carbs as low quality fodder, and only eat small amounts to aid digestion of proteins. If i stopped exercising however, id be in hospital within a week! hey

He is unstoppable. He is like lightning. How can anyone ever get close? It was almost exactly 1 year ago that he ran 9.69 seconds in the Beijing Olympics. Can he knock another 0.10 seconds off his time in the forthcoming year? If any man is ever going to run 100m in less than 9.50 seconds, it has to be Usain Bolt! Usain was joined by American Tyson Gay who came second and his countryman Asafa Powell who came in third. Also running were Darvis Patton (USA), Daniel Bailey (ANT), Marc Burns (TRI), Richard Thompson (TRI), Dwain Chambers (GBR). Usain Bolt has just run 100m in 9.58 seconds, another new World record.

He updated his Facebook Fans with the following message: As you may have heard, I have restarted training in Jamaica (Monday, October 4) and so far so good. I am now in full preparation mode for the 13th IAAF World Championship, Daegu, South Korea (August 27 to September 4, 2011). Of course I will keep you all posted. Usain developed a back injury earlier in the year that impacted severely on his performance. Although the back injury itself was not too bad, training hard with such an injury would put too much strain on his calves and hamstrings. Total rest was prescribed, which mean he missed out on the Commonwealth Games. But his sights have been firmly set on the 2011 World Championships and the 2012 London Olympics. We are certainly pleased to see that Usain is back in training. Great news, Usain Bolt has announced that he has started training again in his home country, Jamaica.

They will be able to put you in contact with a coach. Do not leave it any longer. Only working with a real coach for a while on the track will determine how good you are and what your potential is.
