Ironman Race Nutrition - The key ingredients to a successful run
Today on Coffee & Questions I talked about race nutrition during the back end of an Ironman, in particular the run.
With Cairns IM only 8 weeks away, now is the perfect time to be perfecting your Ironman race nutrition plan.
Here are the key points I talked about today:
-
Success in an IM comes from minimal fatigue from the swim and bike
-
The types of foods suitable for running - eating on your feet
-
The importance of practising with on-course nutrition
-
Train your gut! This includes both nutrition AND hydration
-
Do Sweat Testing to understand your individual hydration needs
-
Explore any cramping issues
-
What Caffeine options are there on the run?
-
Don't try anything new on race day!
