Your Racing Fitness and Nutrition Questions Answered Here

I recently bought the Motorsport Fitness book, which seems to have a lot of good info. I definitely need to get my fitness back together, as I have suffered during the last year(family health issues, amongst other things, today for instance my scheduled swim session gone due to family dramas) and the more fit you are, the better it is and I can tell the difference.

I think the hard part for me is my erratic work and travel schedule and trying to be consistent with getting exercise. It might be a bunch one week and none the next. Also when traveling, I probably don't eat as well as I should, too easy to have that Bloomin' Onion at Outback for an appetizer.

In the past when I was consistent I was probably getting at least 10 hours of dedicated exercise every week. In the winter, swimming, maybe some weights and some cross country skiing. Last summer I picked up kayaking which I enjoy quite a lot now and mostly a lot of bike riding.
