NUTRITION & HYDRATION TIPS
We have a webinar style call planned with an elite endurance nutritionist, Elizabeth Inpyn. The plan is for Elizabeth present why we need to fuel and hydrate during endurance events and the best way to go about doing it on race day. I will send out an email once the details are finalized and provide a date for the call, a Google Meet. I will also be asking for any specific questions you may have regarding race day fueling and hydration.
TRAINING & FITNESS TIPS
I posted this on social media and feel it worth a share here in case any of you missed it. It is titled: Why a strong core can enhance your endurance efforts...
When I talk to athletes about the core, it is surprising how many simply reference the 'abs'. They know there are other muscles however admit they can't recall what they are. I break it down to eight muscles and two units that all work together to create the core that all my endurance athletes work on to enhance their endurance efforts.
The first unit of four muscles function together to import stability to the back while creating some of the boundaries of the abdominal cavity. This coordinated work in the unit not only facilitates stability back, but also the pelvis. The muscles in this unit are the deep erector spinae multifidus, diaphragm, transverse abdominis, and pelvis floor muscles.
The second unit of four muscles are intended for creating movement. The muscles in this unit are the internal oblique, external oblique, rectus abdominis, and the erector spinae - outer layers.
How can a strong core benefit you as an endurance athlete, athlete, or in general fitness? By providing stability & balance, reducing the risk injury, and improving the overall athletic performance.
Does this not sound like a win-win?
