I was lucky enough to get two members of the Precision Nutrition team on the phone to talk about nutrition for mountain biking. We discussed some basic nutrition strategies, some race day strategies, supplement recommendations and dispelled some myths about carbo loading and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Definitely worth checking out if you want to learn more about how to maximize your training and riding through nutrition!

I never ride clipless pedals and I think that most riders should ride flats as well. Here is my take on the subject and why I think our sport should change their view on which option is best.

There are some basic principles that govern what kind of results you will get from any given training program. In this podcast I go over some of the basic training principles and how they apply to us as mountain bikers. I then look at how two popular training programs stack up against these training principles and why they may not be the best option for mountain bikers to increase their in trail performance.

I realized a few months ago that in order to get a good idea of my training philosophies for mountain biking you had to read several articles and listen to a few podcasts. Since I've had a lot of people coming across my stuff for the first time in the last few months I decided to sit down and do a podcast covering my entire philosophy. It is a little over an hour long but it will give you a complete idea on how to best improve your riding performance and how everything ties together.

When I was at Interbike a few months back I met Joe Weissenburger who was promoting his new company Fortis Vita. They make a new supplement, Ocinna, that is billed as supporting "body durability". After looking over the ingredients list and doing some research on them I decided to contact Joe and see if he would be interested in doing an interview to explain more about body durability and how the ingredients in Ocinna help support your training efforts. All in all, I think that this new supplement could be a great addition to your supplement arsenal. You can learn more about Ocinna as well as follow Joe's blog at www.fortisvita.com.
