Two weeks ago we discussed the idea of spring cleaning for athletes. This
time of year is a great opportunity for Maine athletes to try new things
and develop new habits. Sometimes small changes can lead to big
improvements in performance and can keep you exercising safely and
successfully all summer.
Here are five more tips for Maine athletes:
1. DON'T OVERDO FLUIDS
2. FIND A WORKOUT PARTNER
Having trouble keeping your workout schedule? You're not alone. Studies
show that training partners are more successful in meeting athletic
benchmarks. They keep each other showing up, setting goals and competing.
Individual sports like cycling and running actually lend themselves well
to group workouts.

3. GO AERO
Last weekend about 2,500 riders participated in the Trek Across Maine.
With the bike season in full swing, many Mainers are thinking about
improving their performance on the bike. But with some racing bikes
costing more than a car, what can we do to improve?
A group of cyclists at M.I.T. recently released a set of suggestions for
the most cost-effective modifications to improve cycling speed. The winner
by a long shot was an aerodynamic helmet.
Those cone-shaped helmets you see professional cyclists using cost around
$150, and they significantly reduce wind drag.

4. KEEP COOL
Recent research presented at the American College of Sports Medicine's
annual meeting shows that keeping cool is important. Elite athletes have
discovered they can improve their speed by lowering their core
temperature.

5. TRY CONTRAST BATHS
As we exercise, lactic acid and other metabolites build up in our muscles.
Athletes feel sore and fatigued after workouts.
One way to aid recovery is the use of contrast baths: alternating very
cold water with warm.
