Winter training demands smarter recovery. Learn how to optimize rest, nutrition, and recovery strategies for off-season strength training, indoor cycling, and winter endurance sports.

Protein is one of the most misunderstood parts of endurance nutrition. Learn why it's essential and how much you need—whether you're a desk worker, weekend warrior, or elite athlete.

Most athletes know they need protein for recovery, but there's a lot of conflicting information floating around the interwebs as to exactly how much we need to recover from workouts, get stronger, and perform optimally. Thankfully we have Amity Warme to help cut through the cloud of misinformation with the following simple and straightforward evidence-based recommendations.

Getting key nutrients after training is critical to optimizing recovery from hard workout so you get full benefit from your workout and come back stronger for the next one. My latest recovery smoothie recipe includes the ingredients I’ve found to the most profound effect on decreasing inflammation and speeding tissue repair. It contains tart cherry juice, beet juice, plant-based protein, tumeric paste, cacao, and spinach amongst other fruits and vegetables.

With temperatures rising, it's a good time to remember to refrigerate your Enduro Bites to maintain their fresh-made, mouthwatering taste. Like other fresh, preservative-free foods, Enduro Bites should be refrigerated if you don't plan on eating them within a few weeks of purchase. For long-term storage – a few months or more – freezing is appropriate. One of Enduro Bites’ defining characteristics is that they are handcrafted daily in small batches. This guarantees you get the freshest endurance food possible. And, no surprise, fresh food tastes better.
