Enhanced Athletic Recovery Without Undermining Adaptation

Might the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of plant-based diets undermine some of the benefits of exercise?

A beautiful logging road training run in the backyard yesterday afternoon. 80°F with a breeze. You can’t ask for better weather. 🏃🏽‍♂️ . I’m currently in the Base Phase of the Triathlon Full Distance training plan on @trainerroad preparing for IRONMAN Arizona in November. The session for yesterday included 8 x 1 min hill sprints. . Unfortunately it’s only and up-and-down terrain, but it’s great to be alone in the woods to calm the mind and focus the effort. 🎯 . . . #triathlon #swimbikerun #running #ironman #run #triathlete #triathlontraining #trailrun #oregon #timberland #altrarunning #tri #training #fitness #ironmantraining #trilife #runner #sport #gym #nata #triatlon #runners #marathon #motivation #teamzoot #triathlonlife #workout #garmin

My fresh rules for the second half of 2019, and maybe beyond. 🤔 . So far this year, the events I’ve enjoyed the most were those where I had no goals for a specific finish time. Just give a solid effort, and most importantly, have fun. 🙌🏼 . The events that I went in with finish time goal ended in disappointment. Not major disappointment, just frustrated that I wasn’t a bit faster. 😤 . I came away so personally fulfilled just racing for fun, versus racing for time. So for the remainder of 2019, I’m continuing to train for health, train to race well and recover quick, and race for fun. 😁 . . . #triathlon #swimbikerun #running #ironman #run #triathlete #triathlontraining #cycling #bike #swimming #swim #tri #training #fitness #ironmantraining #trilife #runner #sport #gym #nata #triatlon #runners #marathon #motivation #ciclismo #triathlonlife #workout #garmin #mtb #teamzoot

I’m an extremely grateful Dad today. So much love and support from my family. 💜 . Naomi’s support and encouragement is so beautiful. She continuously supports my pursuit in sport. She lovingly and tirelessly cares for me and our family every day. 💚 . Hayden and Hunter are the best cheerleaders. I love how they ask at the end of every race, “Did you win?” It always makes me smile. Their sweet energy and support keep me going. 😄 . I’m beyond blessed to have this journey in life with them. It’s such an adventure, and one that I’m grateful we get to experience together. . Happy Father’s Day! 🙌🏼 . 📷: @bestinthewestevents Triathlon Festival, September 2018 . #tridad #autism #autismawareness #triathlondad #teamzoot #father #family #love #dad #son #mom #daddy #kids #cute #life #instagood #happy #children #fatherhood #smile #fun #familytime #triathlon #brother #parents #photooftheday #motherhood #fathers #photography #fitness

2019 @escapealcatraztri is in the books and it was incredible! Just a quick update, with more pictures to come, once available. . Highlights: Everything! Breathtaking swim, challenging ride, tough run. I felt strong throughout the entire event, especially the run. . Lowlights: None. The weather is toasty today 86°F/30°C. Thankfully the majority of the run was wrapped up before things started to melt. . More to come, but a huge thank you for the love and support 🙏🏼💚 . 📷: @nomi_red . . . #triathlon #swimbikerun #running #ironman #run #triathlete #triathlontraining #cycling #bike #swimming #swim #tri #training #fitness #ironmantraining #trilife #runner #sport #gym #nata #triatlon #runners #marathon #motivation #ciclismo #triathlonlife #workout #garmin #mtb #teamzoot

2019 IRONMAN 70.3 Victoria . 2 June 2019 Official Finish Time: 5:54:51 Highlight(s): Personal best bike time of 2:51:33 (56 miles, ~2,800 ft of climb), mentally strong throughout Lowlight(s): Slower swim, transitions, and run . This was my third 70.3 distance triathlon distance event. My first, a year ago, 2018 IRONMAN 70.3 Victoria, with a finish time of 5:46:24. . The purpose of this race was training and testing for IRONMAN Arizona in November. I was disappointed that I did not have a faster finish time, but happy with some of the insights gained in pacing and nutrition testing. . The event course is beautiful. Elk Lake provides an enjoyable out-and-back swim. The bike up-and-along the coastline is peaceful. The two-loop trail run around Elk Lake keeps you shaded in the trees on a sunny day. . Returning this year reinforced for our family just how much we love visiting Vancouver Island. The ferry ride from Port Angeles, the best views of the harbor @worldmarkbywyndham Victoria, beautiful locations to visit, and wonderful places to eat. . We can’t wait to return! . 📷: @finisherpix . . . #triathlon #swimbikerun #running #ironman #run #triathlete #triathlontraining #cycling #bike #swimming #swim #tri #training #fitness #ironmantraining #trilife #runner #sport #gym #nata #triatlon #runners #marathon #motivation #ciclismo #triathlonlife #workout #garmin #mtb #teamzoot
