THE PALEO DIET FOR ATHLETES

This is from 2005 Loren Cordain, PhD and Joe Friel, MS and the full article can be viewed at http://www.trainingbible.com/pdf/Paleo_for_Athletes_Cliff_Notes.pdf BCC is not recommending this diet, but posting the information as source to help in assisting the improvement of ones current daily eating habits.


“Training for endurance sports such as running, cycling, triathlon, rowing, swimming, and cross country skiing places great demands on the body, and the athlete is in some stage of recovery almost continuously during periods of heavy training. The keys to optimum recovery are sleep and diet. Even though we recommend that everyone eat a diet similar to what our Stone Age ancestors ate, we realize that nutritional concessions must be made for the athlete who is training at a high volume in the range of 10 to 35 or more hours per week of rigorous exercise. Rapid recovery is the biggest issue facing such an athlete. While it’s not impossible to recover from such training loads on a strict Paleo Diet, it is somewhat more difficult to recover quickly. By modifying the diet before, during, and immediately following challenging workouts, the Paleo Diet provides two benefits sought by all athletes: quick recovery for the next workout, and superior health for the rest of your life.”

Hello:

Building Champion CyclistsFl is a program directed toward national competition. Thus, I have let each of you to do your thing. Those that have a coach, I hope you did your best and kept a log so there is information to reference for next year. Everyone’s motivation, dedication and perseverance has certainly inspired me. Each of you has finished each race despite the difficulties that have surely tried to pull you down. Jamie has dominated the SS class and Martin, Regan and Brent are each in the top five or the Pro/Expert Class.

Fund Raising:
Due to the election and the questionable economy I have saved my emotional energy concerning obtaining donations. I will be getting back to that come December and have various ideas. There is current approximately $1200.00 remaining so regardless of what additional funding is developed there is something for the summer of 2009.

The Off Season:
Take the time to do some sport training research. Whatever core work, lifting or general exercises you have been doing it is time to find some new ones and rotate types of activity. Fire up some new muscles by using them in a different way; this will stimulate your system and encourage grown hormone release and help recovery from a long race series.

Coaching Opportunity

Dean is a USA Certified Coach (level III) and is dedicated to developing endurance athletes. Most importantly, he's available to listen to the needs of endurance athletes who are seeking individualized training plans. Dean has agreed to select a deserving youth cyclists age 11 to 18 from the Fall Gone Riding Series and provide free coaching for the final six (6) weeks of the series should that person wish to accept the assistance.

Selection will take place based on a 200-word essay or less from the youth rider that can express a desire to be coached. The essay should cover the rider’s current training regiment, season goals and why he/she would like the assistance of a coach. Simply e-mail the reason why you would like to have a training plan drawn up and what you hope to accomplish from it. Again, Dean really wants to work with someone who really has an open mind and is willing to commit to the plan.
