I generally love your show, Vinnie. Not too crazy about the sex position episode today but that's just you. But could you have fewer ultra people on as most folks don't run like zebras in packs. It's not what the human was designed to do. We are designed to run in spurts for emergencies. The history of marathons and ultra events is full of heart trouble and deaths caused by the activity. Even Dr. Cooper admits he was wrong. Science backs that up — that short bursts of activity are safe and superior. I know you can't please everyone. I just wish once and awhile you'd do a show for those of us who do short but effective workouts and don't go to extremes in either diet or exercise.
