Be race-ready with tips from our in-house nutritionists.
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 of carbohydrates to hit these numbers with ease
Stay on top of your hydration to ensure you arrive at the start line hydrated.
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.
Ensure you have your race fueling plan finalized. Identify where the Hydrogel Fuel Depots are on course and pack enough Gel 100 to fuel every 6 km.
