Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition

  Are you struggling with any of the following during your workouts? Low energy Slow recovery Dehydration Early fatigue Low blood sugar Hunger GI issues A quality training session begins with the daily diet. If you are going long hours without eating, restricting carbs, ignoring your hydration needs and/or not planning well-balanced meals or snacks, you will struggle to perform to your potential. As a result, you may blame sport nutrition products or seek supplements to "fix" an issue that started well before you began your workout. Because it's a lot easier to fuel and hydrate a body at rest than it is during exercise, take advantage of the many hours when you are not training to maximize your glycogen stores, provide your body with adequate calories, vitamins and minerals, supply your muscles with protein and meet your hydration needs. A body that is well-hydrated and fueled going into a workout will outperform a body that begins a workout in a compromised state.

Unfortunately, with no middle ground, athletes tend to direct their energy and attention to what's most trendy and popular and for the past few years, carbohydrates have received a bad reputation from the media.  I am a proponent of carbohydrates in the diet. I feel strongly for nutrient timing (eating before/after workouts) and I believe that the use of sport nutrition is critical in optimizing healt...

The goal of any training plan is to elicit performance gains which are best experienced on race day.  Within any given training plan, there is a method and purpose to the workouts. I often find that athletes have irrational and unrealistic approaches to fueling and it's now cool to not eat before or during workouts. This needs to change. Athletes. you understand the importance of eating for fuel and for health but why is it that you can be so focused on your workouts but lose all good judgement when it comes to nourishing and fueling your body?  I realize that a plant strong diet, rich in whole foods like fruits and veggies isn't very sexy. However, an extreme diet plan that restricts certain foods is really something to talk about with your training partners.  Eating before a workout and consuming calories during workouts is now seen as bad. It's totally hard core to talk about how little you can consume during a workout and how much more metabolic...
