Because 6 isn't enough and 8 is ridiculous

I will do a little sponsor plug right now for 7 Systems. 7 Systems is a supplement for endurance athletes, created by endurance athletes.
In case you were wondering what the 7 Systems are, here is a recap:














Training is a process of breaking the body down and then recovering (just enough) to allow the body to build back stronger. Essentially, it senses that it is being attacked (hard training), so it tries to bring in re-enforcements to manage the attacks (adaptation to training).
A key element to building and re-enforcing the body is through diet. Anyone who tells you otherwise is an idiot. How could diet not affect performance? It is the building block for your cells, muscles, bones, blood…As a hard training athlete, you are also more likely to leach essential nutrients and minerals from your body as you stress the system.
Although Lauren and I eat quite well (when she is around cooking for me, I get a tad lazy by myself), we definitely spend a lot of time trying to hurt our bodies. 7 Systems plays a big part in helping us stay healthy and managing to increase our workload.

****As an aside, 7 systems is also a very good study aide and helps with hangovers, I kid you not, the B vitamins are a bit of a "pick me up" in the am!!!!
