Here are several articles related to triathlon training and planning for seniors that I came across over the past month. Several of these from this month’s finds should also inspire you to become and stay fit.

Information

NUTRITION & HYDRATION

• Benefits of Elderberry

According to the author of this Swanson post, many consider elderberry to be one of the world’s most effective herbs for promoting immune health. Its fruit is a concentrated source of antioxidant flavonoids to support immune health and reduce cell damage caused by free radicals. It is also a source of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B6, calcium, potassium and iron.

REST & RECOVERY

• Dr. Matthew Walker, Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of California Berkely on sleep and endurance sports:

“Sleep is probably the very best legal performance-enhancing drug we know of that not enough athletes are abusing.” (from the Diary of a CEO podcast)

Inspiration

• Movie: Young Woman and the Sea

This movie is based on the inspirational story of competitive swimmer Gertrude Ederle. In 1926, Miss Eberle became the first woman to swim across the English Channel.
