REDUCING INFLAMMATION

When you ingest poison, your body will try to get rid of it
First, your stomach will try to get rid of poison
- Ex: drinking too much alcohol
Other forms of poison: SUGAR AND GRAIN
If you don’t drink, or eat til you throw up but you still ingest poison, your auto-immune system will try to catch
Inflammation occurs when your white blood cells try to get rid of poison
- More water is added to cells to try to flush the bad cells
Your brain is trying to maintain homeostasis
If you have any sort of autoimmune issue, your body has to work even harder to get rid of the bad stuff

Found Vinnie 4 or 5 years ago

An expert at winter training, because Canada gets so darn cold!

COLD WEATHER TRAINING

Firstly, exercise is a poor way to lose weight
If you want to lose weight while exercising, though, Zone 2 is the way to go
Also the best way to train in cold weather
- Not too little, not too much
A comfortable cold is around 20ºF for Paul
Layers are key!
- However, want to make sure you don’t have too much on
  - Want to start a little cold because you will warm up
  - If you get too hot, you will sweat too much and that will end up making you colder
Paul will wear compression tights and shirt underneath his fabric clothes
Jacket depends on wind
His winter running coat has a windshield in the front which is crucial
Gloves incredibly important
- Vinnie and Paul both use his cross country ski gloves
  - Wind-stopper technology
Hat covering ears and mouth is helpful
On his feet, he wears spiked trail shoes for traction on ice and snow
- Built-in carbon tip spikes
Vinnie had spiked tires for his early morning mountain winter bike training
Make sure to drink enough water during cold weather training
