Know When to Say WHEN

Hot enough for you?  I thought for sure by the beginning of August we would get a break from the heat …. not a chance….

Granted this is not my realm of expertise …  But every woman I have coached has told me that their training and performance is effected in some way by their period.   Some months are worse than others obviously.  When these “bad” months do come, it is very useful for the athletes coach to be aware.  A lady that I coach in cycling online sent me this this PDF, click here.  It gives a breakdown of the menstrual cycle phase and its effect on training.

Drinking and Spinning 

Plain old water

I hope this article finds you well, enjoying the hot weather and staying hydrated!  One of the most frequent questions I am asked as an online cycling coach and avid cyclist is what I drink before, during and after riding.  No way around it, as athletes we need to consume more water than the average not-so active person.
