Demystifying Triathlon Nutrition: Answering the Top 5 Questions

1. How much should I be eating during my race? During your race, aim for 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrate per hour to sustain your energy levels. Fuel up with energy bars, gels, and drinks like KMC ISO mix to replenish energy and electrolytes.

2. When should I start eating sports nutrition products? It's recommended to incorporate sports nutrition products into your training regimen 3 to 6 months before your race. This allows your body to adapt and optimize its digestion of these products.

3. What should I eat before a triathlon? Keep it simple with complex carbs such as bananas, fruits, nuts, and oats to fuel your body before the race. Consider topping up your glycogen levels with an energy gel 15 to 20 minutes before the start.

4. Should I train using nutrition products? Absolutely! Training with nutrition products not only helps you adapt to their effects but also optimizes your training quality. Incorporate them into your regimen for enhanced performance.

5. What should I eat post-triathlon? After the race, replenish your energy stores with carbohydrates and protein to support recovery and maintain muscle mass. Look for options that provide a balance of both nutrients such as KMC PRO MIX.
