A Ton of Content Already? We’re Just Getting Started!

kennakata Announcements

It’s hard to believe that, in the few weeks that The Athletic Time Machine has been out, we’re already past 40 posts and substantive articles on our site!  The announcement to the Facebook and Twitter communities was a bit late in coming (sorry about that) so to make it easier to see what you missed before that, I’m putting up a new page that summarizes every post that goes onto the site.  This summary will be kept right up on the title bar for the Athletic Time Machine site should you ever want to get back there.  But instead of fumbling about, just get transported there now!

Thanks for reading and be sure to like the Athletic Time Machine Facebook page and follow us on Twitter @AthTimeMachine.  If you found this post useful, please reblog it on WordPress, share it on Facebook, or retweet it on Twitter to share it with your friends.

kennakata Injury Prevention and Treatment, Recovery Products

Compex EMS DevicesFor years and years, I’ve used and loved my Compex electrical muscle stimulators (EMS).  I use it primarily when I get injured and when I need some intense recovery that I think is somewhat comparable to a massage.  Here’s why I think they belong in every age group athlete’s bag of tricks.

Recovery Nutrition on the Cheap

kennakata Nutrition, Recovery

First Endurance Product LineAthletic nutrition is a a ridiculously complex topic that I won’t claim to fully understand.  In fact, I’m a bit of a nutrition idiot.  For the most part, this doesn’t hurt me— I think that long-course or IM athletes are the ones who really need to treat race day nutrition as a “fourth event” in triathlon (or a third event in duathlon).  But I do have some ideas about recovery nutrition and I think I have some of this down pretty well.  The purpose of this short post is to share a quick tip for making this cheap and easy.
