5 Training Mistakes Athletes Make in January
5 Training Mistakes Athletes Make in January
After the holidays, many athletes jump straight into aggressive training plans, driven by New Year’s resolutions rather than where their bodies are actually at. The problem isn’t ambition or drive, it’s how quickly we expect our bodies to catch up. January brings big goals and renewed motivation, but it often follows weeks of disrupted routines, lighter training, and time away from structure. When you increase training load without rebuilding the systems that support progress—recovery, fueling, and progressive load—fatigue accumulates, performance stalls, and injuries may follow. To help you start the year right, and avoid burning out by February, here are 5 of the most common training mistakes athletes make at the start of the year, and how to avoid them.
How Competitive SUP boarder Caroline Cook Uses Nitrates
How Competitive SUP boarder Caroline Cook Uses Nitrates
Team Canada stand-up paddleboard (SUP) athlete Caroline Cook has spent more than a decade using nitrate supplementation to support her performance at the highest level. Fresh off competing at the ISA World Championships in Surf City, El Salvador, she sat down with Blonyx to talk about racing in challenging open ocean conditions and how she prepares for them—navigating some races as a deaf athlete without her cochlear implants, relying solely on sight to time her starts—and how products like Beet It Sport Nitrate 400 fit into her training and race-week routines.
Cold Weather Training Tips
Cold Weather Training Tips
When the temperature drops, your body prioritizes keeping your heart and vital organs warm, which means circulation slows, overall strength drops, and your nervous system has to work harder to fire motor units the way it normally would. Reduced circulation also means nutrients and immune cells arrive more slowly, which can raise injury risk and slow recovery. In this article, we’ll help you understand what’s happening so you can continue to train through winter and protect the strength, power, and speed you’ve worked all year to build.

12 Common Protein Powder Myths Debunked
Have you ever heard someone say protein makes you bulky? Or that you can only absorb 20–30g per meal?

Here, we cut through the noise with current research so you can see what actually matters, what doesn’t, and where a clean, science-backed option like Blonyx Egg White Protein Isolate fits into your routine.
