InfinitNutrition

Every Memorial Day, INFINIT teams up with a charitable organisation that works to support our active servicemen and women, retired Veterans, and their families. It’s an annual tradition that we are proud to continue, and this year we're excited to be teaming up with Ride It Out MTB to help support their mission of empowering Veterans by giving them positive outlets for stress and anxiety through mountain biking.

By now you’ve probably had a race that has either been postponed to a later date this fall or otherwise cancelled until next year's event. For me, 2020 was supposed to be an exciting year of racing as a member of the USA Paratriathlon National Team as a guide for blind triathlete Brad Snyder as we looked to qualify and race at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo. Just like the Olympics, the Paralympics were pushed back a year to 2021 along with most (potentially all) of the ITU races this year.

Mass start, dust up the nose, endless climbs, stretches of desolate scenery, clock ticking. Gravel races are sweeping the hearts of cyclists across the country for the opportunity to complete something epic, try something new, enjoy beautiful scenery, and challenge oneself. As one of the newer disciplines of cycling, racers are figuring out how best to approach these races and prepare for them — Do I want to be a finisher, or do I want to try and win? Should I go for the 200mile or stay with the 100mile?

Team INFINIT veteran, Dede Greisbauer, explains why she recently decided to go through physiological and metabolic testing, what the experience was like, and how the results affected her nutrition plan.

No need to let your training suffer when you can’t get outside for your workout. Forget the forecast and pay no attention to the weatherman — We are here to offer you some tips to make sure you’re getting in quality training with your at-home fitness plan, so you’re PR ready for your next big competition!

The role of women in today’s society has certainly evolved over the last 100 years. There are more female CEOs than ever; more women are choosing careers in business, science and law. There has also been a notable rise in women in sports. In 1972, Title IX was signed to provide everyone equal access to programs and activities (i.e. sports), that receives federal financial assistance. Since then there has been a 545% increase in the percentage of women playing college sports and a 990% increase in the percentage of women playing high school sports. Being a woman, and athlete myself, it’s amazing to see the progression over time and how far we’ve come.

Balance is an art, not a science. It is not black and white; what works for one person may not work for another. Team INFINIT Pro Triathlete and full time Nurse Practitioner Alycia Hill shares the 8 mantras she lives by to help juggle training & life.

Every athlete and body is unique, so this isn’t going to be a clear cut answer. Every athlete has their own individual needs based on training type and duration, as well as body size and composition. We break down a step-by-step guide to help calculate the number of calories we generally recommend most athletes target each hour of activity.

They juggle the demands of taking care of a family, building a career, and essentially organising the chaos of everyday life, and that’s just before noon. Yet somehow make it all look so easy. We honour the multitasking mums of Team INFINIT. We probably all have memories of our mums helping us learn how to ride a two-wheeler, getting up early to shuttle us to swim practice, and sitting through all-day meets and competitions.

No matter how much (or little) you know about nutrition, everyone knows protein is an important part of performance, recovery, and overall health! It is recommended that average adults get a minimum of 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day (or 0.36 grams per pound of body weight).1 This works out to be about 45 grams for a 125 pound adult and up to 73 grams for a 200 pound adult

Athletes and active people have higher protein needs but often fall short of these targets which can lead to performance declines and can even impact your overall health. We break down 8 telltale signs that you need to increase your daily protein intake, plus, tips for finding good protein sources.

ਆਪਣੇ ਪੂਰੇ ਕਰੀਅਰ ਦੌਰਾਨ, ਮੈਨੂੰ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਭਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਘੁੰਮਣ ਅਤੇ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਪਰਿਵਾਰਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਰੇਸਿੰਗ ਦੀ ਖੁਸ਼ੀ ਅਤੇ ਸਰਗਰਮ, ਸਿਹਤਮੰਦ ਜੀਵਨਸ਼ੈਲੀ ਸਾਂਝੀ ਕਰਦੇ ਦੇਖਣ ਦਾ ਮਾਣ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਹੈ। ਮੈਨੂੰ ਅਕਸਰ ਪੁੱਛਿਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਟ੍ਰੇਨਿੰਗ, ਰੇਸਿੰਗ, ਆਪਣੇ ਕੋਚਿੰਗ ਕਾਰੋਬਾਰ ਅਤੇ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਵਿਚਕਾਰ ਸੰਤੁਲਨ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਬਣਾਉਂਦਾ ਹਾਂ। ਮੈਂ ਕਹਾਂਗਾ ਕਿ ਇਹ ਸੌਖਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਇਹ ਉਸ ਭੱਜ-ਦੌੜ ਦੇ ਮੁਕਾਬਲੇ ਕੁਝ ਵੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਜੋ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਜ਼ਿਆਦਾਤਰ ਨੂੰ ਕਰਨੀ ਪੈਂਦੀ ਹੈ।
