Despite health warnings from the government many people love tuna and continue to eat it often. From raw tuna in Japanese sushi to Star Kissed right out of the can, this high protein food is always a favorite. .

But is mercury in tuna really a problem?

This came to light recently when a friend of mine said he had a some lab work done and his mercury level was 35 when it should have been between 0-11! He said he loves eating raw ahi tuna and his doctor was pretty certain that's where the high levels came from. Then another athlete friend who is suffering from persistent fatigue told me that he was eating a couple of cans of tuna a day.

From Jeff in San Clemente, Ca.:
I've read that there is a Japanese researcher who showed that working at maximum for 10 repeats of 20 seconds on and 10 seconds off can build AT and VO2 Max better than anything else. Is this worth trying? If I did this with bike and run a couple days a week with a warm up and cool down and then did a long easy run and ride, would this be better than "traditional" methods?

From Dave Scott:
Jeff, To elevate VMax, the set length needs to be at least 4 minutes, extending to 13 minutes - the set you described of 10 X 20 seconds with 10 seconds rest interval = 30 seconds or 5 minutes in total duration. Yes, this will elevate VO2 Max. However, I would do two things differently, as you progress through the season; try to lengthen the repeat from 90 seconds to 2 minutes with a short rest, still maintaining the high power output. A high VO2 Max is also a component of your ability to tolerate and clear lactate buildup. A longer rep will do this effectively. One or two sets per week for running is adequate to elevate VMax over a 4 to 8 week period. Lastly, the efforts are very, very hard.

Now, the second part of your equation offers...

Well, the end of May saw me complete my first sprint triathlon in 3 years. It was awesome. Since moving to Alaska in the fall of 2005, I did not complete a triathlon, much to my dismay. (Alaska doesn't provide the greatest environment for triathlons) At our unit Banner Day on 30 May, however, I was able to complete a sprint triathlon consisting of a 500m swim, 13 mile bike (first time I have ridden a bike in 3 years), and 5k run.

I finished in 72 minutes, 2nd in my wave and somewhere around 6th or 7th overall. I was happy with my performance, but ...

I flew out to Alabama for the Xterra Southeast Championships and a chance to qualify for the Xterra World Championships but every good plan can always run into snags and unfortunately I hit some big ones on my way out to Alabama.

When I arrived at the Sacramento Airport for my flight I found out my flight was delayed by 2 hours. Ok, these things happen. Then as we're rolling out of to the runway we had to wait another 25 minutes as they repositioned the load of the plane... ok. But when we arrived at Washington, Dulles is where things went south.
