Listener Q&A:

As compiled, edited and sometimes read by Brock, the Ben Greenfield Fitness Podcast "sidekick".

Resources mentioned in the Q&A section of this episode include:

Kelcey Reina What specifically will you do or not do as far as active recovery?

Dan Springborn Interested in what the 8-9 hours consisted of especially with the twins. What exercises did you focus in the gym or at home? How much swimming?

Sam Nicaise If you are still podcasting - same question from IMC, how did you mentally feel, before, during, and after the race. Mental fog, strength enough to push it, strong enough to keep run technique good, zoning out, ...all that jazz?

Bryan McCrystal Im guessing you dont count calories. does this translate to race day?. was your fuel all carb?? was there any fat in your fuel?

Peter Bandettini Did you hit a "wall" at any point? I noticed you slowed to 9+ minute pace at about 17 mi.

Mike Davis What "under the radar" supplements did you take and what changes to that protocol will/would you adjust?

Warren JT Did you cycle in carbs? And was it a window of time or just one meal a week ?

Aimee Decaigny Was there any part of your nutrition/training that you feel better served you in Whistler vs Kona, and vice versa?

Mike Russell At what level of "base" fitness should we begin minimal training? Or is it appropriate to go couch half/full marathon on minimal?

Andrew Jones Some more info about extreme isometrics. I got a lot of chronic injuires/tightness going on... is it a good idea to do something like a 5 minute squat for this?

Kurt Man Anthony How much Brick training did you do and how far? And was your brick training just bike/Run. Great job and thanks for all the help you give!

Kevin Gossett What changes did you make to pre-race and in-race nutrition from Ironman Canada to Ironman Kona? What changes would you make now, if any, now that you have completed Ironman Kona?

Jim Herman Do you think that ole school long training such as the hours put in by Dave Scott and Mark Allen would have put you at the top of your age group or even above, given your obvious physical abilities?

Joel Meoak What was the extent of your running and biking lengths?

Kate Criswell You recently mentioned on endurance planet a new amino supplement you were going to use. Can you tell us your thoughts on it and is it something you'd take for every workout or just race day.

Heidi Ray What are the top ten beginner mistakes during a triathlon? For example, when the man who was in the lead coming out of the water couldn't find his bicycle, the commenator said "beginner's mistake." What are some others?

Darren Touchton How did the weekly avg hours break down in weight, swim, bike, and run? (2) Did you bring any one of those to the full distance leading up to Kona? Congrats again!

Matthew Ingram Interested in type of strength sessions (heavy strength, high intensity circuit etc.)?

Scott Hanley Suggestions on best way to heal a strained calf two weeks out from a 70.3? I have access to a sauna, high elevation river and natural hot springs.

Shelley Walton What did your weight training program consist of? How many hours per week did you weight train and how much time did you allocate to each session?

Jared Green I'm interested in someday doing a full Ironman, thus far have only done a sprint tri. Should I try doing run only races, like half/full marathons, or open water swims,etc before training for all three at once?

Brandon Lawrence On thermogenesis... Since you went from a sauna to a cooler area I would Assume that a bigger temp difference had better effects, say a hot/cold shower vs. a warm/cold shower. Am I correct? Also, what is your reason for using cold adaption as you don't seem to have much fat to lose.

Eduardo R. Lorenzana Congrats on Kona!! Will you be putting out a soup to nuts outline of your plan? Week by week, nutrition, exercises,etc?

Christopher Allen Congrats on Kona!!! With a change to a high-fat diet, did you have before and after blood work completed to see if there were and positive or negative affects? I ask because I was on statins before and am afraid to go high-fat and have my cholesterol and triglyceride number go up.

Kyle Parzich Do you think you could have seen noticeable improvement by adding just 1-2 extra longer sessions a week on top of the minimalist training you did? Also since you raced a late season IM to qualify, do you think you would have performed better at Kona if you qualified at, say IM Texas?

Damien Teney Among all of the unconventional training techniques you used, which one do you think had the most (positive) impact on your performance ? Hard to know without repeating the experience many times, but I'm sure you can make some guesses!

Kevin Gossett Any ideas or resources for maximizing swim training in an Endless Pool? I don't have the same feeling that I have in a lap pool.

Paul Carroll I take it your 8-9 hrs training didn't include weight training?

Kevin Gossett How far out from Ironman did you start the sauna/cold thermogenesis? Did you add the sauna because of Kona's hot conditions? I know you're a component of cold thermogenesis but not sure if you regularly include a sauna protocol. I'm assuming most of your training was interval/intensity based.

Darcie Gurley What did you eat/drink the day of the race? How did you feel? And are you going to be going ketogenic for your next one?

Thomas Howell Your minimalist training methods and hack combos helped you with your under 10hr finish. What do you think you could have changed as far as training and recovery/supps to place higher? Do you feel you would have placed higher with a larger training volume?

Ahmad Fahmy What are some of the negatives of a ketogenic diet?

Eric LafontaineWhat is the long term effect of such approach? Noticed from your results after canada hormones where a little off.. I can see performance benefit, what about health. The long ride.

Ben, I discovered your site last year from an article you'd written on Training Peaks and loved that one of your focuses is metabolic rates. From someone that has struggled for years with food/weight/exercise, to hear someone actually SAY that isn't just "calories in, calories out" was like a salve to these woefully sore ears! Anyway. On to my question, with a bit of a backstory ... 2 years ago I had a Deep Vein Thrombosis in my left leg. It was treated and I was told the clot had "dissolved". One year ago I started on my Ironman Journey - training and completing an ironman before my 50th birthday - which I'll be doing this August (2009) in Louisville KY. (my son is doing it with me!) Despite medical reassurances that everything is "normal" I continue to have issues with my left leg - a pulled hamstring last year - occasional soreness in my left knee if I'm not very careful. (ie track workouts seem to be really hard on it, stretching religiously etc.). To heal the hamstring last year my PT used Craniosacral Therapy with good results and told me there was an imbalance/blocked energy in my left leg. Fast forward to last week and again, a track workout started playing havoc with my left leg. Focusing on energy flow I can "feel" the blockage. Now to my question ... is there perhaps a nutrition regime through food and/or supplements that are known for creating good energy/blood flow? I'm surmising that I sustained vein damage from the DVT but if I could create more vein/blood flow in that leg I might circumvent further problems as I continue to ramp up my training. Click here to listen to the podcast episode with Ben's response...also, here is a link to a nitric oxide containing product that Ben recommends: Millennium Sports Carnage. -Research Corner: Research from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning including: The effect of rest intervals on the hormonal and strength response to exercise... The effect of compression socks on running performance, whether or not core strength actually helps runners... Whether cycling and running testing needs to be done at different times... The effect of caffeine on sports-specific endurance performance...   -Special Announcements: -Want to be paid to feature Ben Greenfield's cutting-edge calorie-burning book  "100 Ways to Boost Your Metabolism" on your website?

Podcast Episode #28: What’s the Deal With Dairy?

Podcast Episode #28: What’s the Deal With Dairy?

Click to Subscribe to All Ben's Fitness & Get A Free Surprise Gift from Ben. In this December 29, 2008 podcast, I interview personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach, and health specialist Paul Eastwood about dairy products and the effect of milk on the human body. There is quite a bit of confusion about whether dairy is good for fat loss, human performance, and overall health, and Paul and I have a conversation about some important things to consider before you tip back that glass of milk or grab another serving of string cheese. Included in our discussion: Is milk a “low glycemic index” food, and if so, is that a good thing? How has the dairy industry changed over the past century, for better or worse? Is raw milk even safe? How can you get it? Are soy milk, almond milk, or rice milk good alternatives to cow milk? What about milk from animals other than cows? What about osteoporosis? Is that a concern for non-milk drinkers? For further resources, Paul recommended the following books: “The Deadly Dairy Deception” by Dr. Robert Bibb “Don’t Drink Your Milk” by Dr. Frank Oski “How to Eat, Move, and Be Healthy” by Paul Chek If you have more questions about this topic, you can reach Paul Eastwood at paullifefit@hotmail.com.

Podcast Episode #24: Are You Making Your Kids Fat?

Podcast Episode #24: Are You Making Your Kids Fat?

Click to Subscribe to All Ben's Fitness & Get A Free Surprise Gift from Ben. Why should you care that kids are getting fatter? Because it is costing you millions of dollars in health care costs,  because it is a direct reflection of the choices and examples that you make, and because we owe the children in this nation a better future. In this Podcast Episode #24, I interview Monica Reinagel, host of The Nutrition Diva's Quick and Dirty Tips Podcast. During this interview, we talk about the seriousness of the childhood obesity problem, and the fact that kids are dying of "adult" diseases that are intimately tied to junk food, fast food, portion control, and other important nutritional issues. Included in this podcast: -The underlying nutrition considerations behind this problem. -How to approach the difficult position of wanting your child to be able to "enjoy" perks like McDonald's and Coca-Cola. -How children can eat healthy and still enjoy food, with examples of meal decisions, substitutions or changes that parents can make. -Nutritional choices that parents can make that will positively affect the behavior of their children. -How young is too young to start making smart diet choices for your kid? During this podcast, Monica mentions a fantastic resource, the "Real Food for Healthy Kids" book, as well as her website NutritionData.com and her latest book (non-childhood obesity related): "The Inflammation-Free Diet".

To increase my fat burning potential, how do I use this slower, steady cardio technique?  Should I continue with my current workout program and then tack on an extra 30 min of steady cardio?
