Race Day Nutrition
Endurance sports such as marathons require ample energy to meet the demands of training loads and the event itself. The primary focus of an endurance athlete's diet must be high in carbohydrate, moderate in protein, and some fats. And, do not forget to include plenty of fruit and vegetables. Altogether this meal plan will ensure sufficient energy, strong immune system, and muscle repair.

CompuTrainer sponsored triathletes swept the men's podium at Ironman 70.3 Texas in April. New up-and-coming Canadian pros Lionel Sanders and Cody Beals took 1st and 3rd and American star Andy Potts took 2nd. This marks the emergence of Lionel and Cody as athletes that the triathlon world must contend with from now on.
What's REALLY remarkable is that ALL THREE men share the same important bike training approach- 90% of their bike training is on CompuTrainer to the virtual exclusion of training on the road. This tells you how effective CompuTrainer bike training is--possibly better overall than training on the road. It also explains whyRacerMate has long been able to offer the only performance improvement guarantee in the industry.

We Remember Jimmie Georgas
|
 Jimmie was an inspiration to all that knew him and watched him race. As a 10 time World Duathlon Champion, Jimmie was no stranger to crushing the bike and out splitting many athletes who were more than three times younger than him! He last raced with us at Cobourg in 2008 at the age of 82.
Remember Jimmie. |
