This will allow a 10 hour transit time before you eat your breakfast race morning. This meal should be consumed [...]

Active Recovery
July 7th, 2010 · No Comments
Often triathletes are completely focused on swim, bike and run and don’t pay much attention to recovery. I hear things like, “Wow, I had such a hard interval set two days ago and I’m still feeling sore in my legs!” or, “If you work hard enough, you should feel this training session all week!” And [...]

From Roger: I just returned from IM Arizona where my day was going as planned until mile 8 into the marathon and nausea and vomiting forced me to walk the majority of the last 18 miles. I used Gatorade on the bike and had to stop to pee 2 x. No orange in what came [...]

From Carl: I recall years back the stories about what you ate. Washing cottage cheese, etc. What is your current diet? What would be a typical breakfast, lunch, dinner snacks? I notice from the photos that you still look very lean and very fit and at least 15 years younger that you are. Do you [...]
