Top Tips.

• Plan a nutritional strategy well before your event.
• Use the carbohydrate consumption chart to ensure that you are getting sufficient carbohydrate and drink enough to prevent dehydration.
• It's always worth having an extra energy gel with you just in case.
• Add a night time protein recovery drink to your nutrition for periods of heavy training.
• Keep your drinking bottles clean, rinse them out ASAP after use and use a dish washer or special bottle cleaner periodically, replace your bottles regularly.
• Try making up your bottles in advance and keeping them in a fridge or cooler.
• In very hot conditions, try freezing your bottle and drinking the cool drink as it thaws.
• For a special treat, mix your REGO up in a blender with frozen fruit. (Ice cubes also work well, but don't add milk as this will slow the absorbtion down).
• Rego porridge is rapidly catching on as the breakfast choice of champions - simply mix dry oats with Rego, pour on hot water and stir.
• Think quality in all your food choices.
