Episode notes
Conservative Carb Bump Pre-Race
- For events over ~3–4 hours, modestly increase carbs 24–36 hours before but avoid overeating.
- Shift some fat and protein to make room for extra carbs while choosing low-fiber, familiar options.
Time And Compose Your Pre-Race Meal
- Time pre-race feeds by event length: 60–90 minutes before for solids, 30–45 minutes for liquids.
- Include protein in the first morning feeding to steady energy and avoid highs and lows.
Practice Nutrition In Training
- Practice race-day nutrition and hydration frequently during quality training and race sims.
- Record feedback and iterate so your gut tolerates race conditions and products.
