Hello everyone,
Clearly we need to assign someone in this group to work on fixing the weather here in London. With temperatures making it feel more like February than May, something must be done. Hopefully next week will be a warmer, and drier, one.
This week, we are trying out our new Gmail – [email protected]. You can use that email to give feedback or ask questions.
Kelli is organizing a final pub run on Friday night, 7 June. Grab your husbands and/or friends and join us for a fun evening of drinking, socializing, and just a little running. More details to follow.
Finally, Patricia came across this new book that could be interesting – Feed Zone Portables: A Cookbook of On-the-Go Food for Athletes.
-
When Dr. Allen Lim left the lab to work with professional cyclists, he found athletes weary of processed bars and gels and the same old pasta. So Lim joined professional chef Biju Thomas to make eating delicious and practical. When the menu changed, no one could argue with the race results. Their groundbreaking Feed Zone Cookbook brought the favorite recipes of the pros to everyday athletes.
-
In their new cookbook Feed Zone Portables, Chef Biju and Dr. Lim offer 75 all-new portable food recipes for cyclists, runners, triathletes, mountain bikers, climbers, hikers, and backpackers. Each real food recipe is simple, delicious during exercise, easy to make—and ready to go on your next ride, run, climb, hike, road trip, or sporting event.

-
Feed Zone Portables expands on the most popular features of The Feed Zone Cookbook with more quick and easy recipes for athletes, beautiful full-color photographs of every dish, complete nutrition data, tips on why these are the best foods for athletes, and time-saving ways on how to cook real food every day.
-
-
In his introduction to Feed Zone Portables, Dr. Lim makes the case for real food as a more easily digestible, higher-performance source of energy than prepackaged fuel products. He shows how much athletes really need to eat and drink at different exercise intensities and in cold or hot weather. Because the body burns solid and liquid foods differently, Lim defines a new approach for athletes to drink for hydration and eat real food for energy.
Here are the routes for next week – I hope to see you all out running!
