Race hydration and electrolyte intake begin long before race day. I always increase my intake of both the days leading up to the race. Not just the day before. Bulldog is expected to be a hot one, so this will really be important for this weekends 50k. #running ##bulldog50k #bulldogtrailrun #ultrarunning #hydration #nutrition #nuun #stayhydrated #teamnuun #werunsocial #instarunners #furtherfasterforever #worlderunners #maurrunning

Finished the 5k and with a full on tap for tomorrow, recovery starts right away! Protein, fat, electrolytes, and just enough carbs to replenish the glycogen stores. #nuun #nuunbassador #liveepic #questbar #zico #lowcarbrunner #running #nutrition (at Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego 5k)

4 more days until LA Marathon. I’m glad they moved up the start time, but it’s still going to get hot out there in the later miles. My fellow LA Marathoners, if you haven’t started, now is the time to hydrate and get your electrolytes topped off. Drink lots of water and take in electrolytes all week. #running #lamarathon #nuun #nuunbassador #hydration #h20 #electrolytes #nutrition #itsgonnabehot #hotinhurr

Training for a marathon involves much more than just going for long runs. Nutrition training with what you will be using during the race is vital.

How can you mess up plain oatmeal?Here’s how: the guy in the hat now sells “Weight Control” oatmeal. “To Help With Your Weight Management Plan,” it says on the label. The box includes packets of all the fancy flavors … Maple & Brown Sugar, Banana Bread, Cinnamon.Weight control? Each packet has more calories and carbs than the Original oatmeal right next to it on the shelf. They’ve added a couple grams of protein, and now it’s healthy? No, it’s cake.
Look, it’s not just about losing weight. You know what happens to your performance when you’re consuming high levels of sugar? Your insulin spikes. Insulin causes inflammation. Any time you increase inflammation, you have a decrease of power output. Now you’re less explosive, and less healthy. I bet your nutritionist or trainer never told you that.Take the time to understand what you’re putting into your body. What you put in is just as important as what you take out.
The second thing everyone says:No problem, I got this. Until they realize how it feels to go through sugar withdrawal, because The List wrings every gram of sugar out of the body. Total reset. You’re going to feel and perform so much better, but for the short term, you’ve never felt worse. Fatigue, irritability, confusion. You get a crazy headache behind one eye. You’ll get hot, you’ll get cold, you’ll want to throw up. You’ll shake like a heroin addict going through withdrawal because, guess what—you are.You don’t have to enjoy it. You just have to crave the end result more than you crave the donuts.
