On this Ask the Coaches with Lucho and Tawnee:
- Tawnee goes to KB class and is also “struggling” from too much crosstraining in her marathon training; seeks Lucho’s advice,
- Lucho talks about wanting to go to Russia and more snow in Colorado.
And then to the “real” stuff:
- New study showing the positive effects of creatine and how it can increase testosterone and decrease cortisol,
- Product mentions: Natural Stacks Creatine and Master Amino Acid Pattern,
- Swim Video Analysis, watch as we analyze,
- More swim talk including:
-Struggling with the side kick drill in swimming. Why is this and how to master side kicking for better swimming!
-Hip rotation,
-Building power with paddles, - Analyzing HR from LTHR tests on bike and run. Bike HR tested is showing abnormally high, what’s up with that?
- Developing a good swing phase in running, and is it important to implement this on long slow runs or not possible/necessary?
- Watch a good runner fly,
- Mention of Tawnee doing Mule kicks (in Skoras Cores!)
- And much more fun packed into this extra long show!
One Comment
In that creatine study, the participants were taking 5 g, 4 times a day (morning, mid-day, afternoon, and before sleep). When you all commented on the study, it sounded like they were taking 5 g/day, not 20 g/day.
