    Calling all cyclists!

    @twinmama I've been pushing the distance on my weekend rides as well! We've done just over 40, but I really want to be able to do a metric century later in the summer. I've found that if I'm going above 30, I need a gel. What do you do for electrolytes? I've using nuun which is fine, but I don't...

    Weight lifting makes me irritable (but running doesn’t)

    @hopeeternal I’m the opposite. I get super cranky when I’m running for some reason whereas lifting is my meditative space. If you don’t love it, don’t force it! Moving is the important part. I don’t know if it’s where you’re lifting but maybe try a different environment? I lift as part of...
