Shawn Burke, 51, has found a product that works for him. ASEA – a unique, patented product that gives your body the natural Redox Signaling molecules which assist in fighting cellular inflammation, increasing endurance and speeding up recovery – has enabled Shawn to reap huge success in his training. And, since Burke started using ASEA, he’s had the best racing season he’s ever had – racing an Ironman and a Half Ironman in one season.
After taking ASEA for six weeks, Burke participated in his 18th Ironman (Coeur dAlene or CDA) – and was almost an hour faster than in his previous race. Not only was he faster, but his recovery was better. Not only that, but he was back to training only 72 hours after the race.
“To sum up, my recovery times with ASEA are amazing. I have not taken any Ibuprofen (or pain medication) since being on the product – first time this has happened in my career. I have been injury free and healthy all season – another first in my racing career. I was able to train hard days back to back with no soreness or fatigue, and my recovery is the best it has been since I was 25 years old. Ive been able to sleep better than I have in a decade,” he said. “I also qualified for two separate Nationals in the same year, which is another first for me.”
Burke explained that since he’s added ASEA to his diet, his training is no longer being controlled by fatigue and soreness – enabling him to get better quality workouts.
Three weeks after the Ironman CDA, Burke raced a sprint triathlon and finished 4th overall and 2nd in the amateur class, beating his personal record by 3 minutes as well as coming in 1st in his age group (50-55). Four weeks after that Ironman, he raced in the Sprint Regional Championships with over 1,000 competitors. Burke finished 10th overall and 5th in the amateur class, and 1st in his age group (50-55). He was able to beat his personal record by another 2 minutes and qualified for the Nationals for Sprint Triathlons.
Burke continued on his streak; five weeks after the Sprint Regional Championships he raced in the Ironman Olympic Distance Regional Championships, where he finished 18th overall and qualified for National Championships for Olympic distance.
“ASEA was proving a valuable asset to my training. I was recovering so quickly I was able to train right after a race, which I had never been able to do before.”
Seven weeks later, Burke raced the Grand Coulee Half Ironman on the toughest course he ever competed on. The first 14 miles of the biking portion was 13.5 miles of climbing. Burke finished 10th overall and 7th in the amateur class. He finished 2nd in his age group (50-55), with the fastest Half Ironman he’d done in 12 years.
Two weeks after Grand Coulee Half Ironman, he raced Spokane Half Marathon. He beat his personal best by more than 5 minutes, finishing 17th overall and 1st in his age group (50-55). It was the best time in the Spokane Half Marathon in the past 20 years.
“When I first heard of ASEA, I thought the claims sounded too good to be true. As a physical therapist assistant, as well as a competitive runner and triathlete, I did my homework. After studying Redox Signaling science for more than three weeks, and seeing the results other athletes had, I was ready to give ASEA a try.”
Burke drinks 2 oz. before a workout if the workout is two hours or less. He drinks 4 oz. if the workout is going to be longer; and thereafter, he will take another 2 oz. every two and a half hours. Burke takes another 2 oz. at the end of a workout, no matter the time frame of the workout. He also takes 2 oz. in the morning when he wakes up, and 2 oz. in the evening before he goes to bed.
“I always use ASEA on race day, 4 ounces 30 minutes before a race, during the race depending on its length, and 2 ounces at the end. So I train with ASEA the way I race, and try and keep it in my system to help with recovery and repair as I race or train. It works!”
