July 7th, 2010 · No Comments

From Brenda in Salt Lake City: I am trying to work out what is the optimum nutrition for me during an Ironman bike segment. Should it be to take in as many calories as possible? I figure I am burning probably 600-700 calories an hour over 6 hours. Should I try to get in that [...]

From Jeff in San Diego: I was at Ironman and saw you on stage. You look great. Ageless! You have been able over the years to maintain your basic speed in all three events. Most older guys like me in their 50′s are really slowing down. Can you give your core ideas on this with [...]
