Greetings,
Greetings! Congrats to all who finished Ironman 70.3
at Oceanside.
BRRRRRR. Water was 53 degrees! This week: A pain
cream that works; why losing lean muscle is not
good; how quality
protein can help the body improve although it's
stressed; and how one guy did 10 Ironman distance
races last year.
Have a great week.

| MAP as a substitute for dietary protein |
 |
In the medical journal, Advances in Therapy
(July/August 2003), a study was published that used
MAP as the sole and total substitute for dietary
protein in an athlete who walked 344 miles in 24 days
across desert sands and carrying a 48 pound
backpack.
The subject was a healthy 51-year old white female
who walked across the Taklimakan Desert a distance
of 344 miles in 24 days. Though many have tried,
she was the first to ever cross this desert on foot.
During the crossing, weather conditions were
extremely variable, with temperatures ranging from -
5 degrees centigrade at night to 30 degrees
centigrade during the day.

| Does your scale test your body fat? |
|
Does your scale test your body fat? When losing
weight by diet or increasing training, if body fat is
not going down along with poundage loss, you may
be losing lean muscle (and bone, and organ), thus
breaking yourself down.
Did it ever happen to you that your weight was
about what it’s always been, but your clothes fit
differently or your muscle definition was not nearly
the same? Again, you may be losing muscle and
gaining fat, thus going backwards on the health scale.

| BioPainAway - All Natural Pain Relief |
|
BioPainAway works fast, is non toxic, and
helps almost any pain. It contains a combination of
ingredients to really get the pain to go away.
Customer Testimonial:
Works great on all sorts of pain. I recently cut
my
hand very deep and required internal and external
stitches. Once my hand was healed, it would hurt
after a long day of use, and I didn’t have full
movement of it. Applying BioPainAway made a huge
difference. I was able to use my hand with little to
no pain with full movement. On another occasion, I
was moving some furniture and bruised up my legs. I
applied BioPainAway to them, and the soreness was
gone. My daughter, who is a competitive gymnast
uses it all the time on her ankles and arms after hard
workouts with great results. This is all I use now for
my pain needs. I would highly recommend it.

Leslie Myers - Winner at Lake Placid 2005 (age
group 35-39)
Thank you for bringing such a wonderful product to
the market. 2005 has been a very successful year for
me in triathlon. I have won my age group in three
large races and had relative success in early season
races when I was just doing them for fun.
I started taking MAP in the summer of 2004. I
noticed right away that I was able to recover from
hard training workouts and races. Best of all, those
nagging aches and pains and injuries have subsided—
specifically the chronic achilles pain. I have also
found that I am able to race more frequently-
something that I love to do. I have competed
successfully in 2 Ironman distance races this year
and am racing Kona at the World Championships in
October. I have also completed three HalfIronman
races and numerous short course and running races.

How to do 10 IRONMAN in a year without injuries |
|
|
|
by Luis Alvarez
Winner at Ironman Arizona and
Honolulu
You might not want to do that many Ironman races
in a year, or do you? For those who want to do
one, or two, or more than that in one season,
whatever your reasons are it is very important to
keep it injury free, so for that, I want to share some
useful pieces of advice that have helped me:
First of all, take MAP as indicated. This will really
help, otherwise your muscles, tendons, ligaments and
your whole system won’t recover as fast as you
need.
Then, a very important combination of good nutrition,
the correct amount of rest and the correct amount
of exercise up to the point that your body works in
harmony.
The two main mistakes most athletes make are:
train too hard, and rest too little. By training too
hard, I mean doing "too much too soon" . More does
not necessarily mean better, so take it on a gradient
and progress one step at a time as your body gets
stronger.
The other issue is REST. Many find this very hard but
if you don't give your body the correct amount of
rest, the body will break down. Remember, most of
us work, shop, take care of kids, etc. in addition to
the training load. Your body needs to recover, so the
amount of rest should be enough to accomplish that.
For most, this is 8-10 hours a night of restful sleep.
