But the science behind the hormone and chemical flow from the brain due to exercise pertaining to learning is fascinating.<br /><br />Nice views!!Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11103942259084869352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-79516793834555382592009-12-13T13:52:07.668-08:002009-12-13T13:52:07.668-08:00Thanks olddude - I am quite used to looking like a...Thanks olddude - I am quite used to looking like an idiot! ;-)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223657383325055342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-78096939619205114032009-12-13T13:51:29.810-08:002009-12-13T13:51:29.810-08:00Thanks Donny - I'll put the link in the postThanks Donny - I'll put the link in the postChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223657383325055342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-57694476561115227632009-12-13T07:43:31.278-08:002009-12-13T07:43:31.278-08:00Training that is transferable to the mountains com...Training that is transferable to the mountains comes in many forms as you well know.IMO the most bang for the buck is longer sessions with a pack heavier than you usually carry for 1-2 hours over varied terrain.Small hills arent as good as the mountain its self nor is flat ground but I still find(I think)it better than running.Flatter the ground the heavier the pack.I dont know where you live so I guess you run the risk of looking like an idiot cruising downtown with a big pack.olddudenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-31767926250765243682009-12-13T07:18:24.602-08:002009-12-13T07:18:24.602-08:00http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2009/11/25/09053...http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2009/11/25/0905307106.full.pdf+html<br /><br />Looks like the study's open access.donnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-6514316575051640752009-12-12T10:15:53.758-08:002009-12-12T10:15:53.758-08:00Bryce - you are right of course- it is back to cor...Bryce - you are right of course- it is back to correlation vs causation.<br /><br />It was a great view.
