      Global Triathlon Network what is the
      Recomendable breakfast to have that day???

    • @lisapet160
      @lisapet160 5 років тому +1

      Tapering: conditioning, relaxationing, activationing, carbloading, not skipping breakefasting.

    • @heatherfell_oly
      @heatherfell_oly 5 років тому +4

      @@camilaestrada4675 it's the breakfast that you've practised with but high in carbohydrate and low in fat and fibre is a good rule to follow.

      Camila Estrada whatever breakfast you’ve been training with. DO NOT TRY ANYTHING NEW.

    This channel has been invaluable for me and my training! thank you so much! :) I have 21 weeks before my 2 week taper and while that sounds like a lot of time, I know it will be here QUICKLY!

    Advice for race-cation from a recent IM Boulder, CO. As a Brit who loves his food, I very recently got lured in by the delights of the local food scene and was violently sick on Friday night and recovering on Saturday after over indulging! Still, managed to get around in one piece Sunday. That really wasn't the plan so even if it does go south, don't panic!

    Prefect! Planning on doing my first sprint race of the year this Saturday, so this couldn’t be a more perfect video! Wish me luck as I do some last-minute tinkering on the bike.

    Can you do a video (or have you done one) on the basic bike maintenance skills you need to be "self sufficient on the course?
    Your content is amazing and has made me confident enough to dip my toes in, this is the last area of concern as I am new to biking.

    I’ve had good luck with reverse tapers before my big 70.3 or full distance races so the week before entails a bit of work !
