| Monitoring Progress: Efficiency is the Key |
 |
by Cherie Gruenfeld
Ironman World Champion
With the season quickly approaching, you're probably
training with a program designed to help you reach
your race goals. On race day you'll know if that plan
worked.
However, race day is a little late for mid-course
corrections, so let's consider how you might
monitor your progress along the way to determine if
your training plan is working for you or needs some
modification.

| Could training rot your teeth? |
|
|
Did you ever think that training for an Ironman
could
rot your teeth? Several years ago one of my training
partners went for his annual checkup to the dentist
and at age 53, he had 6 new cavities!
He realized that it must have been the gooey bars
and sugared drinks he was consuming for long hours
during training. This month, in the journal General
Dentistry, an article appeared which seems to back
up this conclusion.

| 6 Key Facts Everyone Should Know About Protein |
|
Protein is composed of amino acids. Amino acids
combine into literally thousands of "complex protein,
amino acid chains.
On its own, the body can manufacture 14 of the 22
amino acids it needs. But the other 8 cannot be
made by the body and must be obtained from
nutrition and supplements.
MAP is 99% absorbed and utilized. No food
source or other amino acid or protein source can
compare.

| "I Can Train Harder and Recover Better" |
|
In my 40's and 50's, nutrition and training
approach are critical.
Muscle mass and connective tissue becomes the
limiting factor for the older athlete. Recovery from
hard workouts is the key. WIth MAP, I find I can
train harder and recover better than with a basic
high carb, high protein regimen. I have been able to
build muscle mass and minimize tendon soreness with
MAP.

Did You Ever See a Fat Cheetah? |

"Did You Ever See a Fat Cheetah?
Or, if you want to be fast you must be lean as a
cat ... and some suggestions on how you can do it."
Running speed is determined by how fast you can
move your body from one point to another in a
certain time.
So, given the amount of muscle power you can exert
and leg speed turnover, the lighter the load the
faster you will go. So fat people will run slower than
they could run if they were lean.
It is easy to observe that those winning races are
the low body fat guys and gals.
But how does one get leaner and stronger?
There are thousands of opinions on this subject.
Some people say eat protein and no carbs. Others
say, eat in "The Zone" or eat according to
the "South Beach Diet". Some famous people have
said, . . .
