Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 I remember reading that upper respiratory infections (URI) are pretty common in endurance athletes. Triathletes, after all, do get run down. What advice do Supertraining members have for endurance athletes who have URI issues? I'm a novice in this area - but I've just finished reading two books on nutrition for athletes and they may be helpful. The book " The Paleo Diet for Athletes " by Loren Cordain and Joe Friel has a section on diet for endurance training, including what to eat before, during, and after a race. Also " Nutrient Timing " by Ivy and Portman discusses similar topics. I think both books point to research showing that URI is reduced when recovery is aided by careful nutrient timing.... but skimming the books I can't find the research references just now. jim lorenz los altos, ca, usa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
