Nutrition for Training and Competition
A sound nutrition plan is just as important as your physical training program. If you get your nutrition right you can avoid hitting the wall, you will feel as if you have more energy, recover more quickly and be looking after your body. To maximise your performance thought must be given to what you eat and drink: prior to, during and after training.
Nutrition is important for any training session or event that is going to last for 1.5 hours or more.
Do you have questions like:
- What should I eat and drink?
- How much should I eat and drink?
- When should I eat and drink?
All these questions and more can be answered in a single nutrition advice session. You will receive:
- A comprehensive set of nutrition guidelines for training and competition. This includes information on the types and amounts of food/fluids you should be consuming: pre-training, during training and post training.
- Tips on easy ways to eat/drink when running, in a bunch ride or in a kayak.
- A Training Nutrition Calculator in spreadsheet form. This can be used to create nutrition plans for specific events and individual training sessions throughout your year. See the example below:
