I'd be interested in post-workout stretch routines. Plus, would you recommend a daily core / upper body routine for conditioning? I love the HIIT videos, but I'd love to have an exercise routine which I could just do each morning / evening out of habit which gave a basic level of conditioning. Just doing the odd workout video just isn't enough, because it is something I'll 'occasionally' do, and it's not regular or consistent enough (and I don't really know what regular or consistent looks like, anyway). Thanks and great stuff, GTN :)
Be interesting to hear your thoughts on creatine for recovery purposes. And if you find it offers performance enhancements during sprint finishes etc. There's plenty studies on it for resistance training. But very little for cycling, sprinting etc.
i used to find Creatine really good for recovery and noticed a significant difference when not taking. However i weened myself off of the stuff because i felt it was more organic to try and maintain a sustainable workout plan and recover with good food and lots of water and rest
I think like others, not so good at the recovery, I have focus on stretching more after a run or ride, and have started to look at nutrition. Thanks for the great advice!
For insomniacs like me, there's nothing 'easy' about sleep. It's the hardest part of training- and life- for me! Eating, however... there's never a time I can't eat, including during a long run. Lol
1000% Kelly, nothing worse than knowing i have had a huge session that day, and then as soon as i think about needing to get a big sleep in, i know it wont happen! its almost like im able to trick my mind into not letting me get the sleep my body needs
Pro tip: wear your gtn shirt when going to bed like the presenters do. It helps you recover more quickly. Seriously tho what I do is after a run use the warmed up muscles to do 1-2 reps of 4-5 excercises that help me tackle my muscular disbalances (hamstrings, hip flexor, rotator cuff, neck muscles). After that I shower and then I stretch/foam roll. And it seems the 4-5 excercises help me to keep on going since before - when I did not do them - i developed one or two niggles.
Chocolate milk after tuff sessions, it just cant be bet!! 500 ml of chocolate happiness. Protein shakes after normal training. Foam roller, massage gun and a Sliotar also help
We've covered basic outlines on how to train for an Ironman on GTN. I think there are many generic programmes to chose from elsewhere but not used one myself.
id be really interested to try the CBD oil, im a big fan of EAA before during or after a workout, and noticed a huge improvement in my ability to train back to back days when using it. any CBD oil you recommend?
What do you do post-exercise? 👇
Came home from training this morning and ate 2 doughnuts 😬 might forget to put that in my food diary 🤣, but they taste so good.
Guinness and roll out
Some snack, shower, stretching, normal meal
I let my two toddlers to play over me, they give me a massage and they get a good laugh (seriously)
I usually have a SiS Rego shake after a moderate to hard workout. I also prioritize sleep; often my work lunch breaks are naps!
recovery is most important I do it all the time, but need to start exercising
the slow motion pinky lift made me chortle, and had to comment. thank you for the chuckle today!
I'm glad I brought a smile to your face, it's something that's a rather silly habit.

Just finished my swim here in the US, love you guys thanks for the great video content!!!🤟🏼😎
La sièste...a short nap of 20 minutes an hour or two after a training session. I am an older athlete and we found that the nap helps a lot!
Drinking Nuzest like you would tea from a cup & saucer with the little pinky sticking out... very British ..but essential! :-)
Good stuff, been doing the 1st window properly for a few months and it definitely helps me recover faster.
Грамотно, профессионально, доступным языком👍🏻

Спасибо вам большое за это видео. Все время забываю про recovery, а ведь это вторые 50% тренировки.

Nesquick with semi skimmed milk. About right carb:protein. Maybe not got the same extra bits as special recovery powder but lot cheaper👍🏻
Perfect! great info thanks!
Garmin : Recovery time 24.7 hours
Me : 7 - 9 hour best i can do ( Try nego like pawnstar scene with watch)
Any research to back the nutrition windows concept?
Flora Beverley just had a fascinating live stream with a nutritionist that had interesting info about that topic I'd never heard before.

I don’t do very well lol, sometimes I stretch but mostly I just drive home and shower!
Ma'am content of your video is also very nice
Hi heather, could you advise/recommend where I can get a training programme for an Ironman.
Thank you

#caption competition Hey Mathieu can we have a Poel on GCN cycling shorts?
E.A.A essential amino acids, cbd oil, stretching, magnesium.

When in doubt, pinky out.
