Greetings,
The season is in full swing in many places. I hope
you’re enjoying the longer days and nice sunshine.
This week: the other brick workout; why whey
protein may cause you to lose sleep; and proteins
and body repair. Have a great week.

| Do you need your minimum daily requirement of protein each day? |
 |
Through the wear and tear of daily living, the
body's thousands of proteins are continually being
broken down. If they are not repaired every day then
the body does not maintain its health and strength.
The
amino acids from dietary protein are needed for this
process. It is very important that the food we eat or
supplemental amino acids that we take contain all of
the essential amino acids that are needed to
accomplish this.

I use your guys products all the time and love
it!!!
During the past year I have set PR's in Half Ironman,
Olympic Distance, 1/2 Marathon and won my age
group in sprint distance.
I really don't believe this
would have been possible for me at my age without
MAP. It has allowed me to stack harder
workouts closer together without the usual soreness
or fatigue. I can take myself right to edge in longer
distances and be really recovered the next day.
Thanks for creating such a great product.

| Sleep problems and branched chain amino acids |
|
Could your problems with sleep be related
to taking whey protein powder or supplements
containing branched chain amino acids?
The use of these substances is very common and
many use them without knowing that they could be
decreasing the amount of tryptophan (an essential
amino acid) in the body. Tryptophan is needed to
make a natural sleep inducing hormone called
melatonin.

| MAP and weight loss |
|
My wife has been taking MAP to help her
lose weight. She has been substituting 6 MAP for
her protein for two meals a day and lost 5 pounds
the first week.
When I noticed this in her I asked her what she was
taking. She told me about it and I went to the web
site and read all about it. I thought maybe it would
help me too to improve my workouts. I am not a
triathlete but do do about an hour and a half a day
of calisthenics and running. So a few days ago I took
10 tablets and walked the two miles to the gym. I
did my workout- and was able to breeze through it
and complete all of it as if I were superman. I
couldn’t believe it had such a fast effect. Since then
the trend has continued and I have increased in all
areas and feel terrific. I never imagined a supplement
could be so effective so fast. Thanks. D.J.

Are you neglecting the other brick workout? |
|
|
|
Brick workouts are a main stay of triathlon training.
However, most people emphasize the bike to run as
the one to concentrate on.
Before my last Ironman, I decided that I would keep
my heart rate in the high 130’s for the first couple
hours of the bike ride. Due to various factors my
training had been less that I had wanted and I
decided to use the race as a long training day. I
swam moderately, and was never out of breath and
didn’t feel particularly stressed at the end. In fact, I
was not tired and felt great. But on getting on the
bike, my heart rate was already 150, even for the
first few miles of going very easy.
