There was a multisport expo this past weekend in Boston. It's the third year that I've gone and I always come away from it feeling very inspired; to train more, sign up for races, eat healthier. This time was no exception!
On Saturday morning I went to a seminar put on by a local triathlon coach and he talked about questions that he is asked the most frequently. Of course a lot of people ask about the best food to eat before, during, and after a race because we all know how important nutrition is to performance. He had a great way of phrasing the importance of the post-workout meal. He said: "Think about it, would you rather rebuild your muscles with a twinkie or with salmon?" When you consider the 'you are what you eat' aspect of life, it should help inspire you to put healthier things in your body. Food is constantly rebuilding in your body, so make smart choices about what those building blocks are made out of.
