Save on fuel

Fueling in training

Practice fueling across all types of workouts — from recovery sessions to high intensity intervals. The ability to tolerate carbohydrates in your stomach will change based on the intensity of your training.

Support brick workouts by fueling on both the bike and during your run to ensure that you finish tired, not empty.

Pay attention to how changes in body positioning — between swim and bike, bike and run — affects your stomach and tolerance when it comes to taking in fuel. Give yourself a small amount of time to reset before fueling after transitioning between sports to allow your body to settle.

Fueling days before the race

Focus on carbohydrate loading in the days leading up to your race to maximize muscle glycogen stores. Aim to take in 8-12g/kg of your body weight of carbohydrates via easily digestible, low fiber sources — white rice, refined bread, or pasta. Add a Drink Mix 320 with 80g of carbohydrates and a Solid 160 with 40g carbohydrates to hit these numbers with ease. 

Stay on top of your hydration to ensure you arrive at the start line hydrated. 

Pre-race fueling

Have a plan for your pre-race breakfast and nutrition. Plan out the logistics of the race, travel to the start line, warm up, and have food available. Avoid high fiber and high fat foods to reduce the risk of gut issues and aim for 1-4g/kg of your body weight of carbohydrates in the 1-4 hours prior to the start. To support your pre-race carbohydrate and hydration needs, sip on a Drink Mix 160 that morning and add a Solid 160 to your meal for an additional 80g of carbohydrates.

Training/racing in the heat

In hot and humid conditions, reach for Drink Mix 160 for getting more hydration while fueling with 40g of carbohydrates. Pair with Gel 100 with 25g of carbohydrates in each sachet or Gel 160 with 40g of carbohydrates to supplement up to 60-90g/hr.

The following Fuel Guides outline fueling strategies for common triathlon training sessions and race plans. A fuel guide is highly personal. Use this information as reference only to fuel your training and racing better.

Sports fuel is supported by science and works alongside real food — not as a replacement. Some Fuel Guides — longer or more intense — rely heavily on the specific composition of sports nutrition. Others less so.
