I appreciate it. And yes, I do my best to follow that advice (And all advice I too give my athletes), but sometimes fall a little short of that goal. Being reminded of the fundamentals always helps. Thanks again.<br />- Coach TroyCoach Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09306868354049155432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1492959360683081742.post-83238532746452138762010-01-25T08:54:36.916-08:002010-01-25T08:54:36.916-08:00The 15 minute rule is really just a way to keep th...The 15 minute rule is really just a way to keep the commitment to exercise no matter what. I am in my 60's and work out every day even with a busy schedule. When i really don't want to work out or feel bad i have committed to at least starting a work out - no matter what. It almost always is the beginning of a great workout. Thanks for the inspiration you are to me and others Coach Troy. I have been yelling back at you telling me 'anyone can suffer for one more minute' - for years.<br /><br />Pastor Carl Dixon<br />Bradenton FloridaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415570953126828907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1492959360683081742.post-76511370251651112302010-01-25T08:54:21.074-08:002010-01-25T08:54:21.074-08:00Totally agree on the 15 minute rule.

This is why the old-school riders used espresso, which I suspect would not be endorsed by the previous poster. Anyway, I call these "Just Do It" days (no residuals for Nike) and boy do they feel good when they're over!SMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12881076104335257906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1492959360683081742.post-73605234316207607392010-01-25T07:36:19.442-08:002010-01-25T07:36:19.442-08:00Good job, Coach Troy!

I like the 15-min idea and have done something similar with my training.<br /><br />As a sports dietitian, I can't help but comment on your nutrition. I'm wondering if you didn't eat enough the day before and if so, that might be the reason (or part of the reason) for feeling sluggish when you woke up. I'm sure you know about recovery nutrition but thought I'd send you a gentle reminder! <br /><br />Make sure you consume 1.2 - 1.5 grams of carb per kg of body wt after a hard workout and then more carbs 2 hrs later. This will increase your glycogen stores so that you are able to go hard again the next day (or at least semi-hard). And total carb intake should be 6 - 10 g/kg during the training season, with lower intakes the day before rest days and higher intakes the day before hard/long days.<br /><br />Just fyi! And yes, Twizzlers do count.<br />Cindy Dallow, PhD, RD, CSSDCindy Dallow, PhD, RDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564301655277957296noreply@blogger.com
