As the race season gets into full swing, I know that many of you are thinking not only of your performance goals but also how you can support these with a good race day hydration and nutrition strategy. Some of the key lessons I have learned over the years are:
1) without a good fuelling/hydration strategy you are unlikely to hit your goals, especially on the longer events.
2) there are 3 pillars to focus on - fuelling, hydration and electrolytes.

As the race season gets into full swing, I know that many of you are thinking not only of your performance goals but also how you can support these with a good race day hydration and nutrition strategy. Some of the key lessons I have learned over the years are:
1) without a good fuelling/hydration strategy you are unlikely to hit your goals, especially on the longer events.
2) there are 3 pillars to focus on - fuelling, hydration and electrolytes.
3) your strategy must change with every key event to cover differences in duration, intensity, course profile and weather conditions.
4) You need to practice your chosen strategy for a few weeks ahead of your A race.
I have an ongoing partnership with Precision Fuel and Hydration (P F & H) and one of the offers they have available to all athletes is a video call with one of their experts to discuss hydration and fuelling strategy. This is a no obligation call, so even if you use another product you can still have a chat and come away armed with some very valuable information.
In today's podcast three of my SWAT athletes have conversations with P F & H experts Emily Arrell and Lexi Kelson. The purpose of the podcast is to highlight exactly what format the call takes, and more importantly how they can help you to create a working strategy for your key events.
You will hear the following:
Key points to listen out for:
- 3 individuals with 3 different races means 3 different strategies
- What you do in the 48 hours before your race can make a real difference
- Testing the plan and the product in the weeks before race day is crucial
If you would like to take up the invitation of a NO OBLIGATION video call with Emily, Lexi or one of their colleagues please CLICK HERE.
