In late July, I gave a small presentation about the importance of nutrition to an endurance athletes. I covered most of the important topics like what to eat before, during and after. Also, what to eat for the rest of the day (is there anything else?!). The basis of the presentation was how [...] Is there such a thing as healthy candy? I don’t think so… Wikipedia’s definition of candy is: a confection made from a concentrated solution of sugar in water, to which flavorings and colorants are added. The word candy comes from the Sanskrit meaning “piece of sugar”. Hard to believe any food item which is defined [...] If your going to read anything about fluid intake, please start here.

Getting the quality nutrients in before hitting the gym or going out fora run can at least make you [...] When people think of a potato the first image that usually goes into their heads is fried. Deep fried, shoved into a little cardboard container and then heavily salted. Salvitating yet? No, me either. The potato got a bad rap. Its a shame because post workout this vegetable can be a great recovery [...] Good Morning Cliff. As a triathlete that also has to be careful what I eat on race day, I have struggled with this.
