How to properly recover after an effort?
Give your muscles the nutrients they need to recover and prepare for the next session. Fuel up within 30 minutes after your race to ensure a successful recovery. During this metabolic window, your body quickly assimilates the nutrients, maximizing their benefits. Recharge your glycogen stores by consuming 80-100g* of carbohydrates within 30 minutes after your workout. Maximize muscle recovery and reduce soreness by fueling your body with 20-25g* of complete protein rich in BCAAs.
What should I eat before a race?
Before a race, an athlete should focus on consuming easily digestible and energy-rich foods that provide the necessary nutrients for peak performance. 3️⃣hours before the race: • Focus on easily digestible carbohydrates • Include a source of protein to support muscle function. • Hydrate well 1️⃣hour before the race: • Opt for a light and easily digestible snack • Avoid heavy or high-fiber foods to prevent discomfort during the race • Continue to hydrate with small sips of water
What is the main macronutrient that helps maintain endurance?
Carbohydrates are the body's most efficient energy source that boosts endurance. Properly timing your carb intake is essential for reaching your race goals. Aim between 60 and 90g of carbs per hour during your race. Carbs intake varies based on factors like body size, race intensity, environment, and metabolism. Eat one waffle per hour for a 17g carbs intake. Shop our waffles on naak.com! #fuelyourultra #naak #ultratrail #trailrunning #ultraenergy #carbohydrates #nutritiontip
