If you want to stay consistent in your training (it's the number one way to improve performance, so you should) then working out in the morning is your best bet to make sure you don't miss workouts. But there are other benefits to morning workouts than just consistency. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: Practical tips for getting the most out of your morning workouts (incl. warm-up, fueling, etc.) When to train fasted and when not to How morning workouts may make you burn more calories (the EPOC effect) and sleep better Why even though some research indicates that endurance performance may be peaking in the afternoon or evening, this effect is reversible through adaptations (ie. working out in the morning) How the potential performance boost later in the day likely doesn't apply to triathletes anyway due to a) mental fatigue due to cognitively demanding jobs and b) typical race start times LISTENER QUESTIONS: If you have questions that you want me to answer on the show or off the show (in an email), send me your question via email or Twitter (contact information below).

Andy Blow, founder of Precision Hydration is a former elite triathlete, who suffered a lot from cramping and sodium-depletion related performance drops. Especially in hot environments in his long course racing career. So he scratched his own itch and came up with a product range that solved his issues, which led to founding Precision Hydration, a company that makes a range of electrolyte products for athletes. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -Why sodium is a critical component of your hydration strategy and what happens if it gets depleted. -The massive variance in sodium requirements between individuals, and why there's no one size fits all solution. -The free online sweat test you can take to determine your own individual sodium needs with good accuracy. -How to take that knowledge into practice and apply it in your hydration in training, racing, and leading up to races.
