First off, let me say that I am a true believer in the benefits of MAP. I used it throughout my 2008 triathlon/running season. I crushed every PR, including a 10:58 finish at Ironman Arizona, but I also recognized noticeable differences in my body composition. In fact, at the age of 33, I am now in the best shape of my life and am recovering faster from hard training sessions. I did make some dietary changes, however I can't help but think that MAP was the missing link. These days, people are asking me, "what are you on?...and where can I get some?"

Thanks again for developing a great product!

Dave Scott and Dr. David I. Minkoff discuss strength training for endurance athletes at St. Anthony's Triathlon in St. Pete Florida, May 2009.

For anyone that has completed or is training to complete an Ironman, if you were asked, "Is there any way that you could make a full-time job consisting of just Ironman preparation?" the answer would be an obvious "Yes". Threats of divorce? Kids calling the delivery guy by your name? Colleagues hurt you have other lunch plans? Golf game a joke? Yes, Ironman training forces us to make difficult choices.

We love our families, jobs, friends, communities, and social life, but the narcissist in us occasionally dreams of training unencumbered for an Ironman.

OK, wake up. Not going to happen. This article seeks to provide some pragmatic advice for those who feel squeezed between Ironman training and the rest of life.

Well, after the birth of my daughter, Sophia, it has been a whirlwind of activity over the last month.

I took command of Charlie Company, 1/3 Infantry on Friday, 24 April, and then 2 days later, got on a plane to head down to the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) at Fort Polk, LA. My company traveled down here to replicate the Host Nation Security Forces (Iraqi Army, in this case) for the unit going through the rotation down here.
