For example:

Coach Len Sherman is a famous treadmill running Coach.

Coach Albert is a famous Cheater-Liar-Fraud™ with a total brain volume which is equivalent to the total volume of an 'uncooked' grain of basmati rice.

Have a nice day.

read up on autophagy. It seems intermittent fasting or occasionally cutting down on carbohydrate intakes is another effective way to trigger the benefits. Interesting, but I'll stick to exercise.

Fasting is far more effective than exercise in prompting autophagy, and enhances recovery from exercise as a big bonus.

In 1986 I broke 18 for the first time. I also did that last weekend.

Earlier this year I was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma. For treatment I underwent 4 1/2 months of chemotherapy and a month of radiotherapy. I have been a runner fir over fifty years. The oncologists have been surprised by my ability to handle the therapy and my progress. Of course there are no guarantees and the road ahead is paved with uncertainties, but so is life at age 68. I am running a Turkey Trot in a couple of hours, so life could be worse.

I’m happy that you’re doing well, but you certainly must realize that medical professionals are always “pleasantly surprised” at how patients respond to their treatments. In medical school, they are taught the benefits of positive reinforcement. It can be a very powerful part of one’s recovery. In this regard it is not dissimilar to the health benefits of exercise.

I wonder how runners would incorporate it (fasting) into their regimen? It seems at odds with things like reaping the benefits of post recovery workout snacks and with protein intake before bedtime for muscle recovery.

Fasting does not seem to have been embraced by the athletic community as far as I can tell, but maybe i'm wrong.

I just had an MRI and my doc said, "holy sh!t your muscles look like a 20-year old".. I believe it.

Some 60-year-olds I see at track meets are way fitter than average high school and college kids these days.

I'm a retired serious runner and I try to make running a lifelong habit.

What would be the optimal maximum heart rate one should try to achieve?

For performance training I haven't used heart rate, except for intervals - sometimes.

Now I'm using it because I detect very easy when I'm a bit sick (the hart rate climbs quickly when is an infection in the body).

Actually, running long runs in the AM are technically, "fasted" runs and have been a tool towards fat-burning adaptation forever, even if it wasn't explicitly labeled as fasting per se.

Since most performance-related concerns are focused on young athletes, the anti-aging benefits of fasting are not going to be a priority in studies of athletes and diet. The best example of long-term use of fasting among distance runners is Nolan Shaheed, who holds many age records as a vegetarian who eats OMAD.

If you eat OMAD combined with a lower carb, ketogenic diet, the recovery and dissipation of nagging aches and pains is phenomenal. In my own case I simply eat my one meal after my daily run and everything is on point. This is in stark contrast with the constant battles with weight, injury, illness and discomfort I experienced as a high-carber eating frequent snacks and meals.

Dr. Vin,

Ah, the doctor didn’t have much positive to say when there was a noticeable lump on my clavicle. The concern was more elevated when they discovered a six inch mass of swollen lymph nodes in my retro perineal cavity.

Fortunately great medical care rather than the positive reinforcement took care of the issue.

You should be much faster and will be able to run longer. Seriously.

Did the doctor say the diagnoses were a death sentence for you? Or rather did s/he describe to you a pattern of treatment that would help you overcome this setback?

Of course it was the second option because that was the the one that gave you hope and focused your mind on a positive outcome. That is a huge part of great medical care.

Zen and the Art of Dr. Vin a best seller.....

You are wrong. There is no denying the power of positive thinking. It is yuge.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Doctors are not against telling someone they have months to live. Ya moran

They wouldn’t say that to someone who could be cured.

The positive reinforcement is absolutely a legitimate recovery tool.
