Sports nutrition can make the difference between barely finishing a race and finishing strong. The
Three most important principles of a Sports nutrition strategy for
distance competition are: hydrate, provide fuel for your muscles, and
promote optimal recovery after a race or a triathlon. Water is
usually fine for short runs ,but for intense workouts or a triathlon
too much water without enough electrolytes can get you in trouble. We carry a number of sports drink powders as Powerbar Endurance, IRONMAN Perform and EFS Sports drink. Those can help sustain you blood sugar level during exercise. Another option are the gels, blocks and chews , they provide sodium and carbohydrates. There are many brands like Gu Energy Gel, Powerbar, Clif Shot, etc… We recommend that you try them first during training and decide which one works for you. As
soon as you finish a triathlon or a race , make recovery your priority.
You need to provide your body with carbohydrates, protein and fluids.
Some good recovery drinks are PowerBar Protein bites, IRONMAN Restore, PowerBar Recovery and Ultragen Recovery Drink.
