Tips For Fueling In The Heat Of The Summer
With the summer heat in full swing, we’re here to help you find ways to keep yourself cool during those long training sessions. Whether you're gearing up for a marathon or a challenging gravel ride, we've got you covered with some refreshing tips and tricks. So, grab a chilled drink and get ready to beat the heat while keeping it simple!
Tailwind Ice Cubes:
- When the sun is blazing and the heat is relentless, keeping hydrated becomes crucial. Here's a cool trick: freeze some Endurance Fuel in ice cube trays and add them to your bladder. As these ice cubes melt, they won't dilute the mix, ensuring you stay well-hydrated while enjoying a refreshingly cold drink. It's a fantastic way to keep your hydration game strong and your body cool as you conquer those miles.
Stay Cool with Lap-Race Tailwind Pit Stops:
- If you're participating in a lap-style race, make use of a cooler strategically placed along the track. Fill it with ice-cold Tailwind bottles to pick up on each lap. Not only will you have your favorite drink waiting for you, but the chilled beverage will provide instant relief and motivation as you power through each lap. This also works if you refrigerate your pre-mixed Endurance Fuel overnight before heading out for your run or ride!
Post-Training Treat: Chocolate Fudgsicles and Iced Lattes
- After a grueling training session, reward yourself with a deliciously cool treat. For a chocolate lover's dream, try making fudgesicles using Tailwind's Chocolate Recovery Mix. Whip up a batch, pop them in the freezer, and voila! You have a refreshing, protein-packed snack to enjoy when you're done!
- If you're more of a coffee enthusiast, indulge in an iced latte with a twist. Mix Tailwind's Vanilla Recovery Mix with your favorite iced coffee, add some ice cubes, and blend (or stir/shake) it up. Sip on this creamy, caffeinated delight to bring your body and mind back to life after an intense workout.
Now that you have some cool tips and tricks up your sleeve, it's time to tackle those summer training sessions like a pro. With Tailwind ice cubes, lap-race pit stops, and post-training treats, you'll have the heat beat in no time. Remember to stay hydrated, keep your cool, and most importantly, have fun!
