Nutrition for Performance

The name of the game is fat adaptation and general metabolic flexibility. We want to use fat as our primary fuel source to satisfy the exceptional energy requirements of long events. In addition to maintaining our minimum glucose requirement, we want to maintain muscular glycogen as well as possible.

The nutrition topic is divided into two main categories:

  1. Metabolic training (daily habits/periodization)
  2. Event fueling (training and race).
