Trainer Road Team

I finally purchased a TrainerRoad membership.  I added a team for my athletes, friends or anyone else interested in joining.  Just send me an e-mail and I'll send the request.  I thought it might be fun and motivational to see what everyone is doing.  I'll try and either create the interval workouts in there for my athletes or pick a ride to complete.  I have one client at a fairly high volume, so there may be a long & short version of some workouts.

I could think up a better name.... so the team is "Coach Girard's Test Lab".  Why not.

It should be fun.  A little friendly bench racing.  Remember, you performance is always in relationship to your FTP.  So the higher intensity factor is what we're looking for on there.

Facebook Page For Nutrition

I made a little Facebook page to discuss nutrition.  I'll be honest, that not my expertise.  But I challenged myself to drop 17lbs in 6 weeks.  So some fellow triathletes were interested to see how that's possible.

I think it's easy or at least simple.  Eat only what you need to maintain enough energy and critical nutrients (protein good fat, vitamins, minerals, etc.) and cut out what you don't.   Simple sugars, excess carbs, excess fat in general.  Drink plenty, but eat enough sea salt to balance the water intake.  I try and eat cleaner by mixing in fresh vegetables, and more vegetable based protein like edamame, soy milk, legumes.
