Competitor Network Series

I have a new article series on the Competitor Network (http://running.competitor.com/) - these are the folks who bring you several excellent magazines dedicated to endurance sports, including VeloNews (http://velonews.competitor.com/), Singletrack (mountain biking at http://singletrack.competitor.com/), and Triathlete (http://triathlon.competitor.com/). If it matters to endurance athletes, you’ll read about it on the Competitor Network.

My first two articles for Competitor covered different aspects of Nutritional Recovery (what and when to eat to recover faster) - you can read the full articles at the links below...

1. Nutritional Recovery (http://triathlon.competitor.com/2009/07/features/nutritional-recovery_3402)

2. Now or Later? When to Eat Post-Exercise? (http://running.competitor.com/2010/05/features/now-or-later_10020)

More recently, I’ve been working on a new article series on dietary supplements that we’re calling, “Performance in a Pill?”

The series will examine the pros and cons of choosing and using dietary supplements to improve performance - specifically endurance, recovery, and other aspects of performance in which an endurance athlete may be interested.

The links below will bring you to the most recent four articles in the “Performance in a Pill?” series - hope you like them!
