Beet Juice and Endurance Athletes

Beet Juice and Endurance Athletes

I visited my naturopath the other week to talk nutrition and training. I have never talked about this on the blog before, but I am an endurance athlete with Graves Disease which is an aggressive form of hyperthyroidism. Basically, while everyone else’s thyroid decides to slow down, mine wants to ramp into high gear which causes… Read More…

Recovery Popsicles

Recovery Popsicles

I am so excited about this week. It had been fairly rainy and temperate here the past week or so, which is fabulous for training, but I am a bit of an outlier in the fact that I love training in the heat. Humidity doesn’t bother me, in fact, I welcome it because I love… Read More…
