| Q and A with Dave Scott |
|
QUESTION:
Victor Taylor
Good luck on your next run. When do you do heavy
weights and how do you lessen the weight training
before your next run?
Thank you for your time,
Victor Taylor
RESPONSE:
Heavy weights repeated to muscular failure should
only be considered during a "down" race period of 3-4
weeks. Simply, do not consider implementing heavy
weights to fatigue unless you have a window without
any competition for 3-4 weeks.

| What is the best kept secret to improve energy? |
|
Its called Pozitive
Energy. Why is this supplement
so good?
Because its loaded with nutrition to naturally increase
body energy and very easy to use. It comes in a small
spray container that can be easily stowed or carried.
Here's the ingredient list:
Yerba Maté
Used for hundreds of years
by the
Guarani Indians of
South America, the Yerba Maté plant is an evergreen
member of the Holly family and contains one very
special ingredient: mateine. While Yerba Maté
perhaps contains more nutrients than any other plant,
it is the mateine, a xanthine alkaloid, that provides the
powerful, rejuvenating boost to your body's energy.
Mateine enhances your carbohydrate metabolism and
calorie burning and improves oxygen flow to your
heart. Although a cousin to caffeine, mateine doesn't
produce any of caffeine's negative side effects - no
jitters, nervousness, or addiction. Yet it is a powerful
body booster that will improve your alertness and
acuity, assist your ability to concentrate, and amplify
your energy.
B Vitamins
Essential for converting fats, carbohydrates, and
proteins into energy, B Vitamins are . . .

Greetings again. Well, no surprise here:
MAP has helped me to one of my best
performances of the racing season.
I ran a 13 mile trail run with 3500 feet of climbing (yes,
there are a lot of those up here in Alaska) on Saturday
and finished 8th of 18 in my age group. Consider
though that the top 5 Overall finishers were the top 5
finishers in my age group. I finished in 2:19:25.

Athletes and Air Pollution |
|
|
|
by Dr. Alex Mroszczyk-McDonald
BB Team Member and Winner of IM
Lake Placid 2007
For decades people have been encouraged to "get
some fresh-air" or as a child to "go outside and play,"
however, the air-quality in many cities and suburban
areas is making this option potentially less healthy.
Air pollution has become such a pervasive problem
across the country that there are virtually no places left
unaffected. One group that is particularly at risk are
athletes who exercise outside. We are all aware of
the benefits of exercise, however, what about the
potential health risks? Respiratory, cardiac and
thromboembolic events (stroke/heart attack) have all
been linked to air pollution and exercise (1). Most
people exercise near large metropolitan areas, where
the air quality is often very poor. However, the air
quality can be as bad or even worse hundreds of
miles away from urban centers when weather
patterns carry pollutants great distances from their
source.
Concerns about air quality in Beijing for the 2008
Summer Olympic Games, climate change,
automobile emissions and other environmental
issues have driven a recent boom in studies of air
pollution's medical effects. Most studies haven't used
exercisers as subjects. But their results have
implications for athletes, who breathe with particular
vigor and oomph (2).
