I want to write about eating during workouts before I tell you about the gift certificates.

Most of our athletes are in their off-season training.  So not off, but training.  Just off racing.  We have gradually been building up the frequency, volume and even the intensity as they get back in shape.  Some of the workouts are getting upwards of 3hrs so eating during the sessions is getting more and more important.  There are four possible scenarios when we talk about eating:

1. Not eating enough

2. Eating the right amount

3. Eating too much

4. Not eating the right stuff.

And, of course, this gets really complicated fast.  There are books about this, so, to keep it short and simple:

• Use carbohydrates in liquid form (try our Infinit Nutrition mix) as much as possible for workout fuelling since they digest the fastest (especially for running).

• For really light or endurance rides you can consider eating protein and maybe even some fat but be careful and do not over-indulge.

• For strength training, we recommend adding protein and fat so that you maintain a better balance.

• Always have a recovery drink after any high intensity exercise.

• Do not have a recovery drink for easy workouts.

The most common problem triathletes have are based on improper race fuelling and hydration.  Let Coach Scott help you with a personal consult if you are having problems so that you can race to your potential.

Or, maybe ask for a Factor 9 Gift Certificate for Christmas?
