Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition

With family, friends and food, I can't complain. Our 2016 Thanksgiving was a great success and we hope you had a lovely holiday. It's hard to believe that we are just days away from December which means that time is flying. It's very common to count down days and rush the week but let's remember to always make the most out of every day. Life moves quickly! Can you believe it's almost 2017???? We started off our Thanksgiving morning in downtown Greenville. We had a few Trimarnis racing the  Trees Greenville 8K , including Karel and thousands of other runners. I just love seeing our Main street packed with active minded individuals and I just love how our community supports physical activity. I passed on the race for no reason other than I didn't want to trash my legs with a hard, short effort as I am trying to be as consistent as possible with my running in this foundation phase. There will be plenty of hard efforts to come in the next few months....

The beginning of every season is an exciting time for me. It's a fresh new start to build from the past, to re-create the present and to plan for the future. As athletes, we know that it is necessary to progress through phases in our season in order to enhance performance systematically. But what about the first time you train for something for the very first time? You see, there are stages of learning as athletes and we must go through these stages as we progress with our skills and fitness.  But the really neat thing about being an athlete and training for an event for the very first time is that we don't necessarily know the stages that we should be experiencing yet we put our trust in the process and simply enjoy the journey to train for the first ever, longest distance ever. Once you become a veteran to a distance, things change. There are more gains in fitness to be felt but the mind also changes. No longer are you seeing challenges for the first time or experien...

Wind and cold. It was a fun weekend on the bike. Saturday morning I met up with the Lodge group ride and after the ride had finished, I had Karel, Shawn B. and Saswata pull me around for 1 more loop in Nocatee before I called it a morning. 3 hours of riding and my legs loved every minute of it. The only way to get faster is to ride with faster people so I am always happy to find  a wheel to draft of off as it only makes me a better cyclist. Sunday was a bit colder and the wind was blowing strong. I rode with Karel and Jerry for around 2 hours and they were riding steady which meant I was riding uncomfortably steady. But all good fun and I dressed well so it didn't make me think twice about being outside in the fresh air vs being outside on the trainer.  Post ride breakfast on Saturday - one of my favorites. Egg omelet (2 whites + 1 whole egg mixed with a spoonful greek yogurt, instead of milk). Inside included sauteed kale and onions in olive oil. Seasoned with g...
