Course Formats for Every Active Hobby
Tiyivo offers several training formats, each designed around a specific type of leisure physical activity. All are self-paced and entirely educational in nature.
This training explores the nutritional awareness concepts most relevant to day hikers and trail enthusiasts. It covers how different food types may relate to sustained energy during multi-hour low-to-moderate intensity outings.
Topics include understanding carbohydrate and fat utilization at hiking pace, hydration patterns on the trail, and practical awareness around snacking during longer outings. The content is framed around common hiking scenarios rather than athletic performance benchmarks.
What This Training Covers
- Energy sources and how the body draws on them during sustained walking
- Hydration awareness for varying trail conditions and temperatures
- Pre-hike meal timing and its general relationship to energy on the trail
- Snacking patterns and food choices commonly used by recreational hikers
- Post-hike food awareness and recovery considerations
Designed for recreational cyclists who ride for enjoyment rather than competition. This training examines how food choices relate to the energy demands of rides ranging from short neighborhood loops to longer weekend outings.
The content draws on general nutritional science to explain concepts like glycogen awareness, fluid and electrolyte basics, and the general relationship between pre-ride eating and how a ride feels. No competitive performance targets are discussed.
What This Training Covers
- Carbohydrate awareness for rides of varying length and effort
- Fluid intake patterns and electrolyte basics for cyclists
- Eating before, during, and after recreational rides
- Common food choices among leisure cyclists and what research suggests about them
Built for casual runners who run for health, enjoyment, or community rather than competitive times. This training explores how food choices relate to the experience of recreational running at various distances and frequencies.
Content covers pre-run food awareness, the role of hydration in shorter runs, and post-run eating patterns. The training also discusses how running frequency and duration may relate to general food awareness considerations.
What This Training Covers
- Pre-run eating: timing considerations and common approaches
- Hydration basics for runs under and over one hour
- Post-run food awareness and recovery patterns
- How running frequency may relate to overall food awareness
- Common questions recreational runners have about food and energy
Focused on the nutritional awareness needs of people who participate in recreational team sports and community leagues. This covers the unique intermittent nature of sports like soccer, basketball, tennis, and softball.
The training examines how food choices may relate to energy during stop-start activity, the role of pre-game eating patterns, and general hydration awareness for recreational sport participants.
What This Training Covers
- Intermittent activity and how the body uses energy during it
- Pre-game and post-game food awareness patterns
- Hydration considerations for team sport participation
- How game frequency and season schedules relate to general food awareness
