Achieving Peak Performance In Track Cycling By Marty Nothstein

The first step to achieving peak performance is to train in a way that will help you achieve your goals and this means making sure you are training with the right intensity, in the right environment and with the right people.
Know Your Body
● Knowing what to do if feeling ill
● Know how much to eat and drink
● Know when to take a break
Stay Hydrated
If you’re going to be training and racing according to Marty Nothstein, then staying hydrated is an essential part of your preparation and the best way to ensure that you are drinking enough water is by keeping track of how much sweat you produce during a workout or race.
This can be done by weighing yourself before and after exercise, or by using a urine test strip that measures the concentration of specific ions such as chloride in your urine.
If you find that your weight has dropped more than two percent during training or racing, then it’s time for some extra fluid intake and in general though, aim for drinking enough so that when finished exercising:
● You feel comfortable
● Your muscles are working optimally
● There’s no dizziness or irritability due to dehydration
● Electrolyte balance is maintained
Eat The Right Kinds Of Food
You are what you eat, and that’s especially true when it comes to cycling and eating right is the key to peak performance in track cycling.
You should aim for a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains; lean proteins such as chicken or fish; healthy fats like nuts and olive oil; low-fat dairy products such as milk or yogurt; and water 8+ glasses per day.
Marty Nothstein Of course this doesn’t mean eliminating junk food entirely, just don’t overdo it; it’s also important not to skip meals because this can cause your blood sugar levels to drop too low between meals which means having less energy during workouts later in the day.
When preparing for competitions or intense training sessions it’s important not only what we eat but how much we eat as well.
