James Milner, midfielder and full-back for Liverpool FC, is not only the oldest member on his team, but the fittest too. Here's how he does it.

“It’s everything: drinking, James doesn’t touch alcohol; food, he’s meticulous with how much he eats; his timekeeping is perfect; he has goals – he wants to be fitter and stronger as months go by; his general behaviour and his internal discipline,” he relates. The Liverpool Echo says, “This notorious programme measures the player’s aerobic endurance as participants are asked to run a series of increasing distances at great speeds.” But what exactly does it take to maintain such a high level of fitness?
