I am not a fan of Hydroxycut. In fact, I think it's the wrong thing to do for weight loss. Our product, Healthy Thin, is better and when combined with MAP and our weight reduction diet, Hydroxycut doesn't hold a candle - if you want to be really anabolic while you lose the fat. However, the very popular product has been taken by tens of millions of people for over seven years. Yet because of one death and a couple dozen cases of liver disease the FDA recalled the product. Motive? The FDA decided the public had to be protected. Never mind that prescription medications are the fourth leading cause of death in the US, that at least 106,000 per year die from taking them, and that at least 2 million a year are injured by medication reactions, or that the COX 2 inhibitor Vioxx was calculated to have killed at least 60,000 people and yet considered safe by the FDA. Or vaccines, what is the autism toll? How irksome!

How many miles a week running is optimum for IM training for a master's age group athlete? What about bike?

From Dave Scott:
Masters athletes considering an IM should consider previous training history including monthly volume, recovery from sessions, vulnerability to injuries and motivation. Volume is not the only consideration when designing an optimal IM program.

There was a surprising turn of events when the winner of the recent BodyHealth.com drawing was announced. The lucky winner is Jane Michalek of Carrollton, MD and her prize is of a personal training weekend with six-time Ironman World Champion Dave Scott plus a case of Master Amino Acid Pattern (MAP)®. Jane's name was one of 13,000 names entered into the drawing and although thrilled with her win, Jane felt the weekend with Dave Scott would be better suited to a more strenuously training athlete.

Just wanted to let you know that MAP came through for me again. I did Wildflower last weekend. I hadn't done that race since 2001, so I wasn't sure how I'd handle the tough course 8 years later. But things went very well. My goal was 6:30. I finished in 6:12, winning the age group and breaking the course record by an hour and two minutes. I even beat the 60-64 and all but 1st place in 55-59 and 50-54. During the run, memories of running that course came flooding back to me as I remembered how much easier it was 8 years ago, but clearly I'm still in the game!!

Thanks again for all your support. Cherie Gruenfeld 8 Time Ironman Age Group world Champion

I had great a great race in St Croix, despite a flat tire. I won my age group by 18 minutes. My run was about 1:35 w/o transitions Very hot and windy. Perfect test for Kona. I'm on the comeback trail.

Thank you for the support!!! MAP is the best!
