Fueling Our Cells
Wow! It's here. Here's some advice I received about fueling our cells.
begin the hydration process a couple of days before then regular fluid intake the day of the event.
carb loading 3-5 gram per lb of body weight or calornie needs X 60%
i.e. 100 lb person = 300-500 grams of carbs / 15(grams per serving)= 25 servings
don't forget fruit is a carb! I am also eating protein at every meal.
After the event: eat a carbo solution or fruit within the 1st 1/2 hr after tri completion and a sandwich within 1 hr. This can reduce recovery time by 36 hours.
