THE CONSUMMATE ATHLETE NEWSLETTER...
Live a healthy, adventurous life
Hellooooooo!
In case you missed it on the social medias, this has been a huge week for us. Why? We got a new addition to the family: an adorable mini-long-haired dachshund named DW has come on as a Consummate Athlete cohost (not quite at coach status yet!) If you've been a longtime listener to the Consummate Athlete Podcast, you know how long I (Molly) campaigned for this. We are deeply enjoying this little guy, and he's definitely going to make out adventures a lot more interesting.
But enough pup love, let's get into what's new on ConsummateAthlete.com!
Stay safe,
Molly + Peter
QUITTING STRAVA? MAYBE?
You may have seen the news this week that Strava is now charging for a lot of formerly free features. Is this a horrible thing or a totally reasonable one? Is it worth paying, sticking to just the free features, or quitting entirely? We investigate/share some of our thoughts over on the site, as well as some alternative apps for those who are quitting altogether. Read it: Thinking of Quitting Strava?
OUR MEAL PLANNING / GROCERY STRATEGY
I was doing a talk for parents of young cyclists and got into some basic nutrition, and the first thing I did was apologize for the fact that I was about to talk about meal planning and prep. How cliche. How annoying. How... is this something you know you should be doing but haven't started doing yet? We honestly started doing both our planning and our prep by getting more boring, and you know what? Boring can still mean absolutely delicious, healthy and satisfying. So... check out How to Plan Meals (The Easy Way). (And on a similar note, What You Need to Know About Portion Size)
RUNNING GEAR WE LOVE
With the launch of the new and improved ConsummateAthlete.com, we're doing weekly roundups of the gear we love, use daily and would/have bought multiple times. We kicked it off with Our Best Running Gear Picks (for both Molly & Peter), so if you're looking for new tops, bottoms, hydration solutions, shoes, socks, etc., head over and check it out!
