Why race day nutrition is important
Sports nutrition products provide essential nutrients, energy and fluids to fuel workouts, support endurance, maintain hydration levels and enhance recovery to optimise performance and minimise fatigue during exercise.
Hydration products help maintain optimal performance during races and workouts and support post-run recovery. Electrolytes maintain proper fluid balance by replenishing essential minerals lost through sweat which helps reduce dehydration, muscle cramps and fatigue. Powders and drinks provide a blend of carbohydrate, protein and other nutrients to facilitate muscle repair, replenish energy stores and accelerate recovery.
Nutrition products like gels, chews and bars enable runners to maintain energy levels and sustain performance during longer distance runs and races. These portable and convenient snacks provide a concentrated energy boost in the form of quick and easily digestible carbohydrates, electrolytes and protein to fuel muscles and replenish nutrients.
Both hydration and nutrition products help runners sustain their energy levels by keeping them fuelled to prevent bonking, optimise endurance and promote recovery.
