In today’s Q&A show, we have an interesting mix between lengthy emails and quick quips on YouTube—and lots of sprinting commentary in this episode!

Other topics include: Is building an aerobic base necessary if you have minimal training time? How often should I sprint? Can AirDyne sprints replace running? How much rest should I take when sprinting? And when it comes to eating breakfast: yes or no? And should dogs eat a carnivore diet? What about Omega-3 salmon: yes or no? I also answer comments on restrictive dieting, respond to feedback from an appreciative listener about a John Gray show, and talk about being intuitive to avoid overtraining.

Thanks for your interest and please participate in the conversation by emailing podcast@bradventures.com or commenting on my YouTube videos!

Ian writes in the whole point of working out is to cause stress spikes to your system. [59:18]

Quill5 heard the show about relationships wisdom from Dr. John Gray, and Quill learned that if they are about to get angry, they just hold on and think about it and relax and then they’re able to respond instead of react. [59:47]

Chad comments that it is easy to get carried away with strategies that could be characterized as biohacking. [01:00:22]
