What Nutrition Guidance Do You Offer?

Nutrition for Training and Racing

Your training plan offers general guidelines for nutrition, but we know that every athlete’s needs are unique. The best way to fuel your body for optimal performance depends on factors like your body composition, training intensity, fitness goals, and personal preferences. Nutrition is as essential as your training when it comes to improving endurance, maintaining energy levels, and supporting recovery.

General Nutrition Guidelines

Here are some basic principles to keep in mind as you adjust your nutrition for training and racing:

1. Carbohydrates Are Key: Endurance athletes rely heavily on carbohydrates for energy, especially during long workouts or races. Ensure you’re fueling with enough carbs, and aim for around 60-90g of carbs every hour for longer sessions.

2. Protein for Recovery: Protein helps repair muscles after training. Aim for a balanced intake throughout the day, with an emphasis on protein-rich foods like lean meats, legumes, eggs, and plant-based sources. After a tough workout, a post-exercise meal with protein is crucial.

3. Hydration: Maintaining hydration is key, particularly in hot weather. Consume water and electrolyte drinks consistently throughout the day and tailor your fluid intake to your sweat rate and the intensity of your training sessions.

4. Pre-Workout Fuel: Aim to eat a light, balanced meal 1-2 hours before training. Focus on easily digestible carbohydrates, moderate protein, and low-fat meals to avoid stomach issues.

5. Race Day Nutrition: On race day, it’s important to stick to what you’ve practised during your training. Don’t try new products or methods on the day of the event. Focus on maintaining consistent energy levels with regular fueling intervals.
