Off the saddle

No biking today. The weather wasn't the greatest, but I planned on taking a day off anyway. I did some resistance training, ab work, and yoga instead. Did a upper body circuit, and only stretching for my legs - opting to let my legs recover and come back strong for my next ride. The last few days I have been learning a lot about cycling nutrition. It isn't much different than running, but the demands of each sport are unique from each other. My nutrition is good as far as a normal person goes, but it needs some work as far as an endurance athlete goes. I am going to start incorporating timing, and periodization to make my nutrition more complete. A solid nutrition plan will increase the effectiveness of my training plan exponentially.
