First Endurance HP Optygen: My Case Study

As the triathlon season gets into full swing with training and soon to be racing. I started taking First Endurance HP Optygen daily in early February. I wanted to wait six weeks before reporting on the results. Over the past six weeks, I have been duly impressed with how my body has responded as i have increased my training stress and i think that has a lot to do with First Endurance HP Optygen.

After a hectic holiday season, I didn't rush into training this year but rather used january to just build my fitness and consistency. When I started to get the 2011 season training underway in February, I started using First Endurance HP Optygen. As started to increase volume and intensity, my body broke down but definitely not in the way it did last year. Last year, I became very overtrained and struggled to stay healthy. But for once, I didn't catch that inevitable winter cold or flu bug but remained relatively healthy. In addition to this, I had consistent training without facing the usual tiredness and soreness that plagued me at least once a week last year.

At the end of February, I headed out to Krabi Thailand for a Team TBB camp stocked up with plenty of First Endurance HP Optygen and multivitamin. Unlike last year where I caught something on just about every trip, I managed the 30 hour journey without catching a bug. Then, I jumped straight into intense training over the last three weeks. With the help of First Endurance HP Optygen, I have responded very well to the training load and been feeling great despite the demands I have put on my body. The recovery from training definitely seems faster, and during back-to-back hard sessions and training days my body has been durable and resilient.

In years past, I have been inconsistent with my nutrition and wanted to make a change. With the help of First Endurance, I have finally started to take my training, racing, and daily nutrition to a higher level. While I don't think that First Endurance HP Optygen is the only reason that my training has been progressing so well, I do think it has definitely been an asset. As a pro, it may give me that extra 2 % that i need to win a race instead of finishing 5th. In addition, with professional drug testing, I need to be sure any vitamins and supplements are tested and don't contain any banned substances. With a company like First Endurance, I don't have any concerns and trust in all their products.

In the scheme of my training program, the easiest workout is taking that First Endurance HP Optygen with my First Endurance multivitamin. Make it one of your goals this year to take your nutrition more seriously. For that, I don't think you need to look any further than First Endurance.

A case for daily multivitamins

As usual, it was a typical hectic holiday season filled with family and fun. But for once, I didn't catch that inevitable cold or flu bug from my niece, cousins, aunts or dad. Finally, I managed multiple plane flights, hugs, shared utensils, and didn't come down with my normal start of the year Illness.

While I am sure there are many reasons for my renewed immunity, I think one contributor is my daily vitamin. Surviving the visits with family and friends as well as four plane flights full of germs is no easy feat for me. Last year, I caught something on just about every trip. However, since I started taking the vitamin, I have been healthy, feeling better during my training sessions, and even seem to be recovering a bit quicker. In years past, I have been inconsistent with my nutrition and wanted to make a change. With the help of First Endurance, I have finally started to take my training, racing, and daily nutrition to a higher level. While I don't think First endurance is the only good multivitamin out there, for me it is nice to know that their supplement is developed for athletes and our unique needs. In addition, it is important to have a vitamin that coordinates with my training nutrition and provides the right amount of minerals, vitamins, and calories to help me recovery whether I am in the middle of a big training block or just building up my base. Finally, as a pro, I need to make sure any vitamins and supplements are tested and don't contain any banned substances. With a company like First Endurance, I don't have any concerns and trust in all their products.

In the scheme of my training program, the easiest workout is taking that multivitamin and nutrition to recover. Make it one of your resolutions to take your nutrition more seriously in 2011 and an easy way to stay healthier and out there training is with a daily vitamin.
