My latest installment at iVillage Canada is a running in the heat article that provides a concrete hydration recipe from Kyle Byron, Sports Nutritionist. He works with ultra marathoners and pro MMA fighters so he knows how to keep these athletes going strong during an event.
These tips apply to anyone who wants to exercise in this heat. Some people may notice that they feel more tired for a workout even when they go inside to workout in air conditioning. At least, many of my Urbanfitt clients have observed this. This could be because they are starting their workout dehydrated.
So check out Kyle's hydration tips to make sure you stay away from heat stroke and get the most out of your workout. Plus there are some gear tips in there, even some new fan dangled running gear.
But as a teaser, here's Kyle running cocktail recipe. Great for during or after a run. Drinking straight water can make absorption difficult during a workout so try this! A bit of sugar and salt can speed up absorption.
In a 1 litre container mix the following:
1.5 cups orange or apple juice
Pinch of salt
Tablespoon of protein powder
Water
Now go to the article for the rest of these very important tips to make sure your summer training is maximized!
