Greetings,
Hope this finds you well and enjoying the
spring training season. This issue is packed with
some inspiring information from three stellar athletes
who are each world class and have another thing in
common - they use MAP. Train safe.

Frasure's determination to overcome any
challenge was already evident in high school, where,
in his senior year he qualified for the North Carolina
State Championships in the 300 meter hurdles
despite not having a track or hurdles to practice
on. "Meets were the only time I got to practice the
hurdles," he says.
Then two weeks into his sophomore year at North
Carolina State University, where he was to run on
the varsity track team, he lost his left leg below the
knee and half of his right foot in an accident.

| Athletic Performance and Total Body Toxic Load |
|
Engaging in athletic activities puts a high
demand on your body to go faster, jump higher, and
lift more. Two very important factors must be
considered so that your genetic endowment can be
maximized:
1. Nutrition is the most important factor. Adequate
nutrients must be available to build your tissues and
organs as well as provide fuel for energy.

He has won multiple Road Racing and NORBA
titles.
As a new member of the MAP Team, he
contributes some of his thoughts on:
How do you know if your training is effective? Are
you improving ?
After 15 years of riding and racing, I have come to
learn a few things about this. I've made just about
every mistake you can, but I have succeeded in
figuring out why. Your body will send you signals if
you are training effectively and if you are doing too
much. Too little recovery time and poor nutrition can
result in injury and nagging sickness. Poor appetite?
trouble sleeping? crankiness? - this is the start of a
recovery deficit that your body is facing . . .

After reading about MAP in Triathlete
Magazine, I immediately shared the information with
my brothers, two very accomplished triathletes who
inspire me the most. They immediately started using
MAP. One day after a fairly hard training session
(in my eyes at least it was) they gave me a bottle of
their MAP tablets..... I could tell the next day
that it helped me recover faster than any supplement
I've tried before. I used to be plagued by injuries
which now is something of the past. MAP has
helped me in getting the most out of my training
sessions and will be an integral part in helping me
reach my goals for 2005 and beyond.

MAP Team member Kelly Keane, world class runner, on how to stay energized and hydrated during a marathon. |
|

All athletes are aware that their hydration and
nutrition plan during a race can be the quickest and
simplest way to boost performance. Without proper
nutrition, you'll feel lightheaded, tired, irritable, and
headachy. In short, your performance will suffer. I
learned the importance of proper nutrition during a
marathon while racing my very first marathon in
1997. I hit the wall at mile 20. It was a hot day in
Vermont, and I didn't ingest enough carbohydrates.
My muscles were depleted. I had no energy, my legs
felt like 500 pounds and I was dizzy and nauseous. I
quickly learned that I needed to replace not only
water but also carbohydrates while running. These
carbohydrates help to maintain a normal blood sugar
level, as well as provide a source of energy for my
muscles. By attacking the blood sugar condition
before it got too low, I would be able to keep my
muscles fueled, feel stronger during the latter stages
of a marathon, and also recover much quicker.
I experimented and experimented...
