The BodyHealth Fitness Newsletter Protein Recovery
April 28, 2010

Greetings,

Greetings! This weekend at the Sports Expo for the St Anthony's triathlon I spoke to a health care practitioner who was a vegetarian since birth. She was exhausted after her second child and only recovered after she began eating meat and fish. If you are a vegetarian, you don't have to eat meat, but you do need to take MAP. Your athletic performance will get better and better. Now and in the future. In fact, by taking MAP, you guarantee that your future health and stamina will be better than it is now. I know this because we get the stories from customers every day. Have a great week and train safe.

  • Barefoot Running

    Today during St. Anthony's Triathlon I saw a couple of people running with no shoes. I went to a local store that sells the no shoes Vibram 5 Fingers to inquire about them and they said they are sold out and the company is backordered until July or August. It's a phenom. Here from DrMirkin.com is a very interesting report on this topic.


    Sea to summit + IRONMAN in the same week. . .


    This is the first of two parts of my new adventure. I am going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and finish the IRONMAN South Africa in the same week. . . The big challenge of this will be to climb the Kilimanjaro (almost 20,000 ft) in one day and do the IRONMAN of South Africa in less than 10:30 hours. All this IN THE SAME WEEK!

    Yes, I love Ironman competitions, and you can say because my 62 participations in the last 19 years, and lately, has being claimed with the idea of climbing the 7 highest summits of the 7 continents of the world:


    Train like a PRO


    By Pam Kallio USAT Coach, USA Cycling Coach and Team BodyHealth Member

    I have had the opportunity this Spring to watch several PROs train here in Tucson, not only in the sport of triathlon but also in cycling, and swimming. You might say "well that is part of triathlon", but not for these folks.

    Having competed in the sport of triathlon for 10 years now, and having coached athletes at all levels for 6 of those years, I thought I knew a thing or two regarding the mental aspects of training. What I learned this spring is how much I still had to learn. The singular focus and dedication with which these folks train at is awe inspiring to be part of. They create their own energy - and yes, it's a positive energy. Most of their "training" is done alone or with a single training partner that they have a relationship of trust with. The "competition" of training is left out of the equation completely and saved for race day only. Every training session has a purpose, and their dedication and focus on that single purpose drives them like a steam locomotive.


    I started taking your MAP about 3 weeks ago and . . .

    Dr. Minkoff,
    I've been training most of my life - Jr. High and high school swim team, cross country, and track as well as some college cross country and then started triathlons in 1987.

    Being a new dad in my early 40's and still trying to compete at somewhat of a competitive level I've been looking for nutrition and supplements to help. I started taking your MAP about 3 weeks ago and have never felt better in my life. Maybe when I was 22 possibly, but by breathing and recovery have really improved and wanted to let you know you found a believer.

    Being a huge Dave Scott fan, I signed up for your newsletter, but held off on the MAP until I signed up for the Colfax Marathon a month or so ago.

    I just wanted to send you a note.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Fit to be Fast on the Bike

    While there are many draws towards training for and competing in multi-sport events, one fun factor is the never-ending opportunity to tweak our form, nutrition and gear. The bike is no exception. Since the early '80s triathletes have had a never-ending demand for new technology and products, and better understanding of how to go fast more efficiently. Or have we? In this article we'll take a look at the 3 "fits" that are needed towards cycling efficiency.

    We've seen many men and women on time trial bikes, grimacing, looking tense, with bodies curled up and elbows so together that you wonder whether they have a sternum. Was it some joke of an evil trainer or bike shop technician that suggested that position for them? Maybe. But most likely it was the racer who cooked it up after watching some Tour de France time trialist like Fabian Cancellera tear the clock off the wall. As triathletes and duathletes, we need to understand and acknowledge that the time trialing in our sports is not the same time trialing in pro cycling.
