 Hello and thank you for receiving our e-news updates. I hope you are training smart, having fun and getting results!
It's getting cold out there! Even here in sunny Tucson, temps are dropping into the 40's - 50's at night. I might even have to break-out the arm-warmers soon!
In this update, Registered dietician ILana Katz wrote an informative article on Nutrition and the Immune system that you'll want to read.
From a training perspective - stay focused on the aerobic intensity training for now if your 2009 season starts in March or April. Also, consider getting a metabolic test done soon to establish a fitness benchmark and ideal training zones. A good field test for the bike can be found in our newest Spinervals title - 27.0- Threshold Test (and Suffer Fest!).
Train safe and Train Smart,
Coach Troy

It is still winter and therefore the dreaded cold and flu season still
looms. The human body has innate mechanisms that protect against these

combat against bacteria, viruses and other foreign substances. The
other component of immunity is a reserve of antioxidants, helping
bolster the body's systems of defense against internal cell damage from
free radicals. Free radicals are unstable byproducts of the body's
cells use of oxygen to produce energy. Read more...
