I can honestly say that I can tell a difference in continual use on the mountain during long days, especially during enduro race events. If I start the day with the recommended amount and then repeat it half way through the day, I feel like it keeps my mind sharper and my cardio system working more efficiently.
This week, Emanuela Bandol (@emstersweet) returns with another quick and yummy recipe – Butternut and Acorn Squash Soup. This one took her less than 40 minutes to make (not including the time it took to roast the squash).
The stationary bike trainer is one of the best tools in your training arsenal.
The highly controlled environment provided by a stationary trainer makes it one of the most effective ways to improve your cycling power.
The trainer allows your workouts to be guided by variables like time, gearing, cadence, power and heart rate, making it much easier to execute precise, repeatable intervals.
Emanuela Bandol (@emstersweet) is obsessed with our Espresso and Dark Chocolate Enduro Bites. For as much as she admires our culinary creation, during a recent lunch together, we found ourselves eyeing her beet root falafel balls wrapped in lettuce. Noticing our keen interest, Emanuela offered to share her amazing recipe with us.
In my previous post (The S:6 Testing Protocol, Part 1) I talked about the importance of testing to track the progress of your training. Through testing we look to see improvements in power outputs at specific interval durations over 6-12 weeks between testing.
