I started just using it for my bike to supplement my workouts when I stopped teaching my indoor cycle classes. I love group fitness workouts because I didn’t have to think about programming; someone else did the work for me. If you don’t know, I’m in training for a virtual 10K (Austin Statesmen Cap 10K) because I haven’t covered mileage during the pandemic. I am excited to be gaining some mileage back safely to be ready to run a half marathon when I want to run a race.

Peloton 10 min warm-up walk + 30 min walk and run + I did the walk/run at a much faster pace than the previous week, but I was losing salt very quickly. I like to do two strength workouts during the week, but I will also focus on some upper body stuff and my core workouts. My focus for this week: more strength workouts, getting more quality sleep, and continuing building my weekly mileage with more bits of running.

To add an extra boost to my winter hydration, I’ve used the NOW® Sports Effer-Hydrate and NOW® On most days, I start with a NOW Sports Effer-Energy tablet in the morning to make sure I’m kicking off my hydration off right. The tablets dissolve in water in a short amount of time, usually about 5 minutes to fully dissolve, which is the perfect time to get other things ready while you’re waiting. It’s an easy way to meet aid your body in recovery it needs to keep you going to achieve your goals, plus it tastes so good like you’re drinking a fancy fizzy drink by the pool.
