(1) take the strap (minus the pod) in the shower with you after a workout and give it a bit of soap and rinse.
(2) Run it under a bit a warm water before putting it on. Licking? Nope. I wouldn’t ask my dog to lick my sweaty chest, so why would I basically do it myself ?
You wouldn’t be. You’d be licking the clean strap you just washed with soap and water the day before

I picked up cycling just a year ago and I’ve been using TR only for 2 months, but it really „anchored“ me in the sport. The main takeaways so far: Sleep is important. This has not only changed my performance on the bike, but also my life off the bike. I am just way more relaxed. A second take away is that consistency is key: Hang in there an results will show.

This. Or consuming calories at least. A carb drink is hardly eating 
Also…listening to 2+ hour podcasts. I never did that prior to listening to TR.

Drink a non / low alcohol beer!
They all taste of disgusting chemicals and nothing remotely close to actual beer … except one!! 
Are you in the US? Athletic Brewing has made some really nice NAs. My favorites are Run Wild IPA, Upside Dawn Lager, and Cerveza Athletica, which is similar to a Dos Equis style.

I’m just glad you didn’t say licking your arm and jersey for electrolytes during a hot ride. I don’t remember which episode number that was, but every time I remember it I die a little inside…
I’m in the UK but I did a search and found Athletic Brewing Co have a UK website / delivery - will be trying those out shortly, thank you!!

I wish they sold ‘em in Japan. My wife’s pregnant and during pregnancies I support her by almost cutting alcohol entirely. So rather than sharing a beer or two on Fridays, we now share an alcohol-free beer. Some of them are bad, but others are passable. We are leaning into this: we aim to try different brands and types to keep things interesting.
