My goal is to eat clean paleo while achieving major performance gains in my derby game. Paleo just feels right, and I don't experience any of the bloating or "heaviness" that I feel when on a higher-carb, grain-based diet. The majority of my food is local / organic / grass-fed, so what I'm eating is (usually) very high quality. Oh yeah, and extremely delicious.
In roller derby, I'm a jammer and need to be able to sprint for 2 full minutes – and while sprinting, I need to be able to turn on the turbo jets and sprint even faster in short bursts. I need to be able to jump and juke and move side to side while retaining, even gaining, speed. I have a very strong endurance base and can make it through a 1 hour game or 2 hour practice no problem, but I am very challenged with the shorter sprints.
