Podcast #66: How to Avoid Becoming Tired and Falling Off the Pace!

After a weekend of riding or racing when a rider becomes tired and slows down, I hear “I need to get in shape”.  This can certainly be part of the problem, however, frequently the reasons associated with slowing down is associated with putting the body into a precarious situation: survive or perform.  During this podcast, we outline the difficult scenarios put on the body when you ask it to go fast and/or for long duration of time.   Topics include: the body striving to survive in hot, humid, or high intensity conditions while still performing optimally; how to consume calories when your heart rate is elevated without feeling sick to your stomach; keeping up with the calorie, electrolyte and fluid demands as you become leaner, stronger and faster to mention a few. If logistically possible, have access to your updated Garmin dashboard so that you can calculate and establish a pacing, hydration and personal nutritional plan to proactively offset the potential of slowing down during your next ride or race!  Coach Robb's Resources (articles, videos, etc.) about health, wellness and performance: ► https://www.coachrobb.com/ ► Resources such as the 2-Week Food Challenge, Sweat Rate Calculator, and Body Measurement Spreadsheet, click here: https://coachrobb.activehosted.com/f/25 Coach Robb's Exclusive Exercise and Recovery Products (designed by Coach Robb):► Energy Fuel (Intensity and Duration Specific Sports Drink):            https://www.coachrobbstore.com/energy-fuel-products/Coach Robb's Suggested Vitamins & Minerals: ► Nutritional Frontiers Supplements (Developed and Recommended Supplements of Coach Robb)        https://www.coachrobbstore.com/nutritional-bundles/Coach Robb's Snacks, Smoothies and Meal Resources:Coach Robb's Healthy Meals, Smoothies and Snack Recipe Books available in print and digital formats on Coach Robb Store and Amazon.► Healthy Meals ► Smoothie Recipes ► Snack Recipes Coach Robb's Educational Bundles:► Nutrition for Weight Loss Educational Bundle     https://www.coachrobbstore.com/product/weight-loss-educational-bundle/► Nutrition for Performance Educational Bundle     https://www.coachrobbstore.com/product/fueling-performance-educational-bundle/
