The above seminar will be running on the 26th July (Thursday) at Worcester Canoe Club. Grandstand road (near the racecourse and rowing club). Suggested 7.30pm start. Testing will be on offer on the night at a reduced cost of £75 and tubes of tablets will be £5. There will be limited time for full sweat tests in the evening and they will get through as many as they can. the best way to deal with this is to try to formulate a 'pre-booked list' of people who are certain they want a test before we begin. (If there are any people who know they want a test, can you drop me an email with a list closer to the time?) Those tests can then take priority on the evening and any further tests I can try to squeeze in otherwise I will take details of people who want testing and missed out and organise another time to suit. We can also run a free sweat guide which will give a rough indication as to where people are on the scale. I have attached a leaflet which explains a little bit about Precision Hydration. Please pass this onto members to publicise the event.
I received the following from a friend of mine. He's a GB squad canoeist, has represented the country on many occasions and takes his training and nutrition very seriously.
They are using a new drinks strategy and product and he wondered if anyone in the club would be interested?
He has also emailed me two PDF info leaflets. Let me know if you'd like a copy.
If anyone would like to get these guys in to give a presentation then please let me know. I for one am certainly interested in listening to what they have to say.
James.
Andy:
I represent Precision Hydration; a new approach to managing your unique hydration requirements as an athlete.
Id like to offer you a free presentation on hydration for the athletes at your club.
Everyones sweat is very different in terms of composition. In fact the level of sodium lost in 1 litre can vary 8 fold from person to person. Coupled with individual differences in sweat rate the amount of electrolyte lost during a training session or competition can vary as much as 15 fold.
Despite this fact all normal sports drinks only offer one level of electrolyte replenishment.
At Precision Hydration we provide a unique sweat testing service, hydration advice an tailored electrolyte drinks to World Champions, Olympic athletes, pro tour cyclists, Premiership footballers, professional rugby teams and elite motor racing drivers.
To increase awareness and understanding of how important optimal hydration and electrolyte replenishment is we would be happy to come to your club and do a free 40 minute presentation on all aspects of hydration for athletes.
The presentation will be lead by Andy Blow, one of the founders of Precision Hydration, a sports scientist and ex-Elite level Ironman triathlete.
He can give an extremely interesting presentation on the physiology of hydration and practical advice on managing fluid and electrolyte intake to accurately match your sweat losses before, during and after exercise.
If any of your members are interested in taking a sweat test and getting a tailored hydration strategy for training and competing after the talk we will be able to take bookings to do this on the night. The sweat test does not involve exercising (a sample of sweat is taken from the forearm after the sweat glands are stimulated with a chemical) and the results available immediately. To see what is involved in a sweat test watch this video http://vimeo.com/35069745 and for more information please visit www.myh2pro.com.
Please get in touch if you have any queries or would like to book a free hydration talk.
