TODAY IS A REST DAY. Congratulations on another great week of training!
TRAINING TIP: Athletes involved in aerobic activities are the most susceptible to dehydration, so be sure to consume at least 2 liters of water per day, more if you are working out in the heat or extreme cold. A basic guideline for winter athletes is to consume 5- to 6 ounces of water every 15 minutes.
Eat a variety of fresh produce, clean proteins (not processed, high in fat and sodium), and wholesome carbs such as whole grains. Skip the sugary nutrition bars, unless you'll be working out for more then 2 hours at a time. These bars are similar to candy and meant for endurance athletes. A better choice for quick energy, that's easily stored in a pocket, is dried fruit.
