Welcome to my Fitness page. Below are links to many articles and other features related to training, racing and sports. Also on this page is information about The Big Book of Endurance Training and Racing, including excerpts.

Typo Alert: “The Big Book of Endurance Training and Racing”
At the end of page 281, going to the next page, there’s a discussion of making your own carbohydrate race drink. Here is the correct formula for a 6 to 8 percent carbohydrate solution:
6 to 8 grams of carbohydrate (approximately one heaping teaspoon), such as honey, to 90 ml (3 ounces) of water.

The book lists the amount of water incorrectly at 180 ml (6 ounces). So for a 6-ounce solution, multiply all ingredients by 2; a 12-ounce solution, multiply all ingredients by 4, etc.
