I have been taking BioBuilde for four years now
with excellent results in my races. Since then, I have
improved my performance in all three disciplines, and
most important, I haven't had any injuries in those four
years. I personally, recommend BioBuilde to all my
athlete friends, but today I want you to know
something that called my attention to the effect
BioBuilde had on my Father (who is 79 years old,
diabetic, with a heart pacer and with a condition called
Auricular Fibrillation).

| Q and A with Dave Scott |
 |
Greetings Dave,
I was glad to see your affiliation with the company and
product. I've been successfully using BioBuilde for 4
years, and so have the athletes that I work with.
My question to you I think should be applicable to all
athletes:
Since all athletes are susceptible to
respiratory infections, like flu, bronchitis, and
pneumonia, what have you learned about easing back
into training and competing after one of these
illnesses that usually knocks even the strongest
athlete out for a couple of weeks? Are there specific
recommendations for resuming training - especially
swimming? Such as: intensity, distance, frequency,
recovery, etc.
Although the athletes I work with, including myself,
may be on bed rest, we minimize wasting by keeping
our daily BioBuilde intake pretty high.
Thank you for your insights.
Best,
Jukka

At 63 years of age, I've finally faced the fact that my
best race times are probably behind me. But that
doesn't mean that I don't still train and race hard which
I did at Buffalo Springs 70.3 this weekend where took
first place in a small but competitive field on a course
that is known for being a tough challenge for any age
athlete.
I know that, in order to remain a competitive racer, it's
imperative that I recover quickly and thoroughly
between workouts and after big races and that I stay
injury free. This is not unlike the needs of any athlete,
regardless of age, but the older we get, the more
critical the need if we intend to stay in the game.

| Team BioBuilde Athlete Kevin Moats Winning Big |

Another win for BioBuilde. I won the 50-54 AG at
the National Championships in Portland yesterday, by
3 minutes. I went 2:08, and ran a 39:00 10k (6:15 per
mile on a very hilly run course). I was 1:40 down at the
start of the run, and passed the leader by mile 2 and
put another 3 minutes on him by the end.
I had another good race at Honu 1/2 Ironman. I went
4:37:16, and won my age group by over 25 minutes.
The swim was flat, the winds down on the bike, but
the run was a death march-hot and humid. The
sun/heat is much hotter than in October.

Does endurance training protect one from heart disease? |
|
|
|
Not necessarily. As you may have heard, just recently,
Alberto Salazar one of the greatest marathoners of all
time- winner of NYC Marathon 3 times and Boston
once- suffered a heart attack. He is only 48 years old.
How can a youngish elite athlete suffer a heart attack?
Salazar still runs with frequency and well enough to
accompany Lance Armstrong through the first ten
miles of last years NYC Marathon at under a 7 minute
per mile pace.
How can this be?
Here are some possibilities.
This inflammation causes injury to the inner lining of
the blood vessels. This inflammation leads the body
to lay down cholesterol as a "bandage" over the
inflamed area. This thickening leads to narrowing of
the artery and reduced blood flow. If a portion of the
soft plaque breaks off it blocks the blood flow, and the
heart muscle downstream loses its blood supply.
This leads to heart muscle death.
This is a heart attack.
So what causes this inflammation? It is excess free
radicals within the body caused by:
