I see far too many athletes looking at the "symptoms" of non-performance and not enough at how to actually perform. That's a bad sentence, but the idea behind it is true--focus on performance first. After a certain point, endless tweaking of diet is non-productive and in fact takes more mental energy than it's worth. That energy should be directed into figuring out how to PERFORM...<BR/><BR/>Lisa, sorry I missed you for climbing, thanks for the invite! The lunch (red meat and red wine) on the Discovery was very cool, and I'll be back in Scotland one day. Thanks again!<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>WGUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758084516426195214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697721.post-78007280104888242362007-11-27T14:42:00.001-08:002007-11-27T14:42:00.001-08:00Hi WillInteresting blog, very intersting about the...Hi Will<BR/><BR/>Interesting blog, very intersting about the food...speaking of which did you enjoy yours on Saturday afternoon?!

Their diet was basically something like this (in terms of where they got their calories):<BR/><BR/>-- 15% from refined sugar (!)<BR/>-- 10% dairy products<BR/>-- 50% vegetables and grains (but mostly grains)<BR/>-- 25% everything else, mainly meat, eggs etc.<BR/><BR/>They also drank alcohol sometimes, used caffeine (in tea), and generally did not take vitamins or other supplements.<BR/><BR/>So...you can eat well, and kick as..Butchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13980975211865462345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697721.post-83407132950797536652007-11-23T08:08:00.000-08:002007-11-23T08:08:00.000-08:00Hi Will,Interesting post.

I suspect that you, as a world class athlete, have largely internalized the “rules” of nutrition and diet and are more tuned into your body’s needs. As a non-expert I find I need more “guidance.” When I eat the Zone I know when to get up from the table. I assume the longer I eat “the diet” the more I too will internalize that bodily feeling of when it’s time to stop eating – that I really shouldn’t have had that third piece of pecan pie last night at Thanksgiving. Man it was good! ;-)Kim Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08675514923006009060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697721.post-79313508730087011072007-11-23T03:13:00.000-08:002007-11-23T03:13:00.000-08:00Awesome what you say about the focusing on the eas...Awesome what you say about the focusing on the easy targets (Well, because its easy) makes a lot of sense, I think people do a similar thing with gear "If I have these tools I can climb a grade harder!" when maybe they (occasionally me) should be saying if I climb more, I can climb a grade harder. - I am off for a turkey sandwich & a chocolate log! ;-)Apex Distributionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12370232768962822543noreply@blogger.com
