Category — Nutrition

After doing the Spin for Hope today and having my legs feel completely spent, I realized that some people may not know that they have to replenish the glycogen they used up in their muscles, within 30 min of any exercise lasting an hour or more.  Make sure the replenishment includes carbs and a little protein.  I ate a cup of couscous and minestrone soup that I brought, and an apple.  They also had pizza which is OK too.  Especially after such a long ride!

Due to popular demand, and all of the billions of questions we have regarding nutrition during our triathlon training and racing, I’ve decided to add a nutrition area to this blog.

However, please remember, I AM NOT a nutritionist and all of my “knowledge” in this area comes from articles, other people’s websites, sports nutrition books, seminars I’ve gone to, a my own experiences and the experience of others.   So, take it all with a grain of salt, and use the info at your own risk.  I will note the source of my information so you can investigate further if you wish.
