For more energy
In endurance events like marathons, triathlons or long-distance cycling, managing energy is essential for improving performance and maintaining focus and concentration. Throughout a medium or long-duration race, your body needs to replenish the energy expended.
Proper nutrition before and during the race is important. Here are our suggestions to help you have energy and sustain it.
Keep hydrated
Maintaining hydration levels is essential every day, but in an endurance event, it’s critical for reducing muscle cramps and spasms, regulating temperature and cognitive function, and replenishing water lost through sweat.
However, maintaining hydration isn’t just achieved by drinking water. You need the right minerals to retain water in the muscles and ensure optimal performance. Here are our suggestions for replenishing electrolytes and staying hydrated during a race.
For better recovery
An excellent recovery between training sessions and races is critical for improving performance, through muscular adaptation and maintaining your training regimen. A good recovery will replenish your energy levels and help you maintain a healthy sleep routine. Recovery requires rest, but also the quick replenishment of nutrients and hydration.
Recovery begins as soon as the effort ends, and you need to replenish carbohydrates, consume protein, and ensure adequate hydration. Here are our suggestions for optimal recovery after an endurance race.
Health and Well-Being
You have to be at your best to train and feel better. In an intense season of training and competitions, it’s normal for accumulated fatigue to start affecting your performance. At this point, you need to protect your energy levels, your joints and cartilage, your ability to sleep and rest to maximize your performance and recovery.
These are the supplements, vitamins, and minerals we recommend to get the most out of your workouts.
