Whether running or biking, a hot brew is always a welcome sight after a session. A very timely little article on Triathlete’s World extols the virtues of a hot drink to re-hydrate at this time of year, especially if you have got extra cold out there…

Hot Hydration Tips For Winter

When the temperature starts to dip, it’s easy to become cold on a long training ride – you work up a satisfying sweat on a climb, but during a long descent your body cools down and, ever helpful, it tries to warm itself. Your muscles start to shake to generate heat and you come home shivering. This is when a hot drink works wonders: it banishes the chill and can be an excellent post-ride recovery potion, delivering exactly what you need to recharge after a workout.
