Spring Cleaning!

Each and every year, springtime provides an opportunity to shift towards fresh and clean living. With the change in season, many schedule an annual house cleaning. But, spring is also a great time to "cleanse" the body. A little spring-cleaning of our diet can go a long way towards a faster season of training and racing, as well as healthier living. Who couldn’t use a little of that?

Triathlon Workout Database

So I need some feedback from the community. I'm building a workout database and would like to know what everyone thinks. I am on a very limited budget for it (basically domain names fees), so I don't have programmers at my disposal.

Let me know!

I read a lot about nutrition DURING races, however, what do people use when their not racing or between races?

Race Strategies - What is yours?

I have been doing triathlons for a little over a year now and have quite a few sprints under my belt. I am now moving up to Olympic and then, hopefully, to 70.3 later this year.

10 Simple Nutrition Tips for Triathletes

Nutrition is often an overlooked aspect of training. Here are some basic and simple tips to think about and implement into your routine.

1st HIM Nutrition question

I am doing my 1st HIM in a few weeks and I am really wondering what all I need to be consuming during the event. My longest bricks have never really been over 3 to 3.5 hours long. And for those I have just relied on Hammer Gel and Nuun tabs mixed with Powerbar perform. What else should I be testing in the weeks to come so that I will be as successful as I can be. (Because other than injury I am finishing this thing) :) Any help on this and any other 1st HIM timer info you guys can give would greatly be appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Ironman residual carlorie burn

I completed my first Ironman on Sunday, and have been eating like a madman since the end of the race (interestingly, also with my cabbie on our way to the airport at 5 am when I made him drive us through White Castle).

What do you have for breakfast prior to an early morning long workout?

I read Joel Friels blog http://www.joefrielsblog.com/ the writer of the Triathlete's Training Bible, and have found it to be a good foundation for my overall tri training. I also have kept my nutrition as an important part of pre and post training every day. I take on about 1000 calories prior to a 4 hour workout.

Marathon Nutrition

Due to a shoulder injury I had to back out of the Timberman but I'm cleared to run (thank god). I'm racing a marathon in October, my first, but I'm a little unsure of how to handle my fueling. I have a Nathan belt that holds 4 speed bottles that I have been training with and that's going well. I have been using Heed for hydration but no gels yet. I do use Hammer Gel during my Tri's so that's an option as well.

Does anyone have any experience to share?
