PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Amazon MARK’S QUESTION ABOUT RUNNING He has been a long-distance runner for 20-30 years and wants to get faster...less than 20 mins for a 5K If you go out to fast, you get exhausted and if you don’t go out fast enough you won’t have a good time What can he do to build up power to be able to improve his time by 30 seconds? Is weight training effective?

Welcome to the Wednesday short show with Andy Schreiber. Listeners seem to be loving this podcast so we are going to with them. Andy asks why vitamins are packaged in amber glass bottles and how effective is outdoor exercise. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR Pure Vitamin Club WHY ARE SOME VITAMINS PACKAGED IN AMBER-GLASS BOTTLES? Consumers assume vitamins packaged in amber-glass bottles to be a superior product Seems medicinal...doctors used to put medicine in tinted bottles to shield it from light and deterioration For certain products, like salmon oil, it makes a difference Fish oil is delicate and light can cause it to become rancid HOW EFFECTIVE IS SLOWER, LONGER DURATION EXERCISE AS COMPARED TO RUNNING OR SPINNING? Andy hates running. It is too jarring but he loves hiking and will do 10 miles with a lot of elevation. How does that compare with high intensity exercise? It is actually Zone 2 training and it is great for your heart Zone 2 is getting your pulse to 180 minus your age

Vinnie and Anna discuss a Top 100 Influential People in FItness List that has come out...and they tear it apart. Vinnie’s contention is that for the most part...it has nothing to do with fitness!!!
