If you're a member of Dr. Phil's site you've probably already seen this, but tonight at 5 pm Pacific (8 pm Eastern), Stu Mittleman will interview Dr. Phil by telephone.  Information about how to participate in the call can be found here.  Should be a fascinating call.

They'll also be a followup phone call;

*This call will be recorded and placed on a reply line within 48 hours.

Dr. Maffetone will return for a follow-up call on

Wednesday, Feb 10 @ 2:00 PM Pacific Time.

 

 

Anyone know how this works? I see a phone number to call. Are we hearing it live? Can we participate? Is there a fee?

 

Thanks for posting, G.

If the only charge is for long distance. Try using you mobile phone.

I did - it ran about an hour.  It was enjoyable.  The first 15-20 minutes of the call was Stu and Dr. Phil re-telling the story of how they met and what Dr. Phil did to rehab Stu (you can read the story in "Slow Burn").  There was a lot of history about how Dr. Phil got involved with athlete training and how he developed the 180- formula.  Very interesting from an historical perspective (hearing about the size of the old HRMs was a hoot).

 

There was also a good discussion about what "aerobic" actually means according to Dr. Phil (hint - it has a lot to do with fat burning).  One funny line intended as a joke to show how silly the oxygen-based definition of "aerobic" can be was something to the effect of "If anaerobic exercise means 'without oxygen' then you can do it without breathing!"

 

There was also some information about diet that was helpful in terms of how diet can promote or retard fat burning.

 

Only one question dealing with elevated heart rates in competition.  Stu made it sound like there'd be more opportunity for questions on the follow up call.

 

I enjoyed it.  If you have an hour to listen to it, it's worth it.  The replay number should be on Stu's website.

 

 

ETA:  Just remembered there was also a discussion about shoes - including the benefits of being in more minimal shoes (not just for running but all the time).

Steve -

 

Stu said the call would be on replay and gave the phone number, but I must say that I can't remember it off the top of my head.  As noted above, there is a follow up call on February 10 at 2 PM Pacific (5 PM Eastern).  Stu said this one should be more of a Q&A format.  To submit questions, e-mail them to Stu - stu@wolrldultrafit.com.
