Feed Zone Portables recipe book

Feed Zone Portables is a new book of recipes out by Chef Biju and Dr. Lim with 75 ideas for cyclists, runners, triathletes, mountain bikers, climbers, hikers, and backpackers. The simple recipes are made with real food. I have tired a few of these easy to make recipes bringing them on my longer rides and lately on the way out the door to the pool to swim laps. On their website they offer free sample of some of the recipes at  www.feedzonecookbook.com 

My favorite recipe that I have made so far are Banana Waffles. I seem to get stuck in ruts of what I eat in the morning and out while on longer rides or runs. This book has helped open my eyes to what can be done.  Sure there are the energy bars and gels I take along but this is real food you prepare in your own kitchen. 

Different "Sticks" for different athletes

I have had some followers of my blog who viewed "The Stick" video ask what is the difference with the colored handles.  That is a great question and I have an answer.  The red stick I use is a "Sprinter Stick" smaller and mainly used on the legs and with its small size is very good to  travel with.  The blue and yellow handle stick I use is a "Marathon Stick" once again primarily used on the legs, but I use it also on my lower back and neck.  And lastly the black handle stick I use is the "Power Stick" which is recommended  for users who are taller than 5'10", in which I am.  This stick is what I use on all major muscle groups,  and with its length, it is easily used on my back.

"The Stick"

"The Stick", a tool I use to warm up and recover from workouts day in and day out.





Sure there are foam rollers out there, but "The Stick" is what you want. The best, self massage tool for runners and triathletes.
