Training updates are back again! Last year it was half marathon updates which rolled right into olympic triathlon updates and all that stretched on for 5 months! This year it’s a scant two and a half months and we’re done. If your a keen Sweat Sweetly reader you already know from my 2019 season plan... Continue Reading →
Training hard? Keeping consistent? Nutrition on point? None of that can happen if you’re not getting the hydration you need while you work out. Almost nothing else is as important and believe it or not it can make you go farther, faster and even like working out more! You might think okay bring water what... Continue Reading →
Whether you run, lift, cycle or swim, fast, far or slow someday you won't be able to perform at the level you are now. Sorry to bring it up but you probably already knew that right? It doesn't matter if you are 25 and headed to the olympics or 70 and the fast kid in... Continue Reading →

Maybe reality TV or social media is to blame but it feels like we all have a bit more low key jealousy in our lives these days. We want her house, his car, that body and to be that social every weekend. But that's not really what this is about and everyone's grandma was quick... Continue Reading →
Some of ya’ll are going to hate this and maybe even unsubscribe and that’s okay. You’re going to want to say that this is just my opinion and some of this sort of kind of is but not all of it really its based entirely on science. What we will cover is legitimate concerns not... Continue Reading →
