Hydration and supplementation strategy for a Cros Duatlon, by Victory Endurance

These guidelines are only recommendations that each person must adapt to depending on their physical condition

 

In this article our collaborator Victory Endurance gives us a strategy to correctly perform hydration and supplementation in a Cross Duathlon 

BEFORE STARTING:

ISO-ENERGY: It gives you the last and necessary intake of carbohydrates, minerals and water just before the competition. Very technical formula that provides: carbohydrates of different glycemic indices (different speeds) to maintain an adequate concentration of glucose in the blood, lost mineral salts and a plus of Glutamine (anti-catabolic amino acid, delays fatigue and reduces the risk of infection). Drinking a drink like Iso-Energy is essential to improve performance. 
 

GELES, BARRITAS AND GUMMIES: the contribution of carbohydrates is essential, especially if we have not been able to load them before the test, for this we offer several options: 
 

Nature's Energy bar 45-30 minutes before the start. 
 

If you prefer another format, you can take the Energy Boost Gummies 30 minutes before. 
 

A gel (Energy Up !, Energy Boost with or without caffeine) immediately before the start and not at another time to avoid hypoglycemia.

DURING:

ISO-ENERGY: essential to avoid dehydration during physical exercise. Drinking a drink like Iso-Energy is essential to improve performance.

BARRITAS OR GOMINOLAS: For the bike part you can take advantage of eating something solid, choose the option that you like best: the Energy Boost Gummies, remember that 4 are equivalent to a gel, or the Nature's Energy bar.

GELES: Take advantage of the transition to take one. You can choose any of our range: Energy Boost with and without caffeine, Energy Up! o Pump gel.

 

AFTER COMPETITION:

TOTAL-RECOVERY: Essential product to begin both energy and muscle recovery immediately after physical activity. It provides high glycemic index carbohydrates, essential amino acids and glutamine, with a 3/1 ratio between carbohydrates and proteins that according to studies is the ideal combination to optimize post-exercise recovery. Also with a plus of vitamins and minerals. Taking a product like Total-Recovery is necessary to optimize recovery.

 

Remember that these guidelines are only recommendations that each person must adapt to depending on their physical condition. Try the products always before, during your workouts, never on the day of the test.
