3 Dietary Steps Within An Endurance Race

By Robert Sutter


Before you start to head out for endurance race training, you want to make sure that energy is seen at a high level. I think that just about anyone will be able to agree with me on the matter, especially when you take into consideration that these minerals are going to prove themselves time and time again. However, being able to regulate what is taken in is something that will prove to be most helpful. Keep these 3 dietary steps in mind for the future.

1. Carbohydrates are the kinds of aspects that should be brought into the body if you find yourself engaged in an endurance race. A written piece on ACTIVE supported this matter and how carbs, as important as they are, should be taken in on a regulated basis. One of the caveats tied into this particular substance is that, when taken in to an extreme, it can cause cramping during a race of this caliber. Keep this information in mind as you become involved in many intense events, Spartan Race included.

2. What about the idea of water, which is something that is all but needed in any type of physical event? You may think that consuming much of this is important and while this is true, just like carbs, there is a limit that should be set in place. The article said that too much can dilute your electrolytes, meaning that it is possible that your body will start to cramp up during heavy activity. In order to avoid this, make sure that you drink smaller amounts before a race as if to not overload yourself.

3. Do not, by any means, skip out on meals that have been regulated. Yes, you do not want to overeat because your body may feel heavier than it should be during an event of this caliber. That being said, being unable to take on a meal could mean that blood sugar is not being regulated as it should be and the amount of energy that you have is not going to be nearly as tremendous as it should be. Make sure that you get the necessary meals into your body beforehand.

Anyone who has been involved in an endurance race of any kind can tell you that preparation is the key. You want to be able to make the most out of this, especially when you consider that there is a chance of overeating that could be done. In order to avoid this, you should be able to avoid certain minerals and food and take in the good stuff instead. However, regulating how much is taken in prior to a race can make all of the difference in the long term.
