We’re not far off event weekend, and while your training may be in full swing don’t overlook the importance of prep, rest, and recovery! As you push your limits on the road, remember that proper preparation and adequate downtime are essential for peak performance. Whether it’s fueling your body with nutritious meals, scheduling rest days, or incorporating stretching and recovery exercises, prioritising these aspects will help you stay strong, resilient, and ready to tackle any challenge that comes your way.<\/p>\n

The Fisiocrem<\/a> team have put together some helpful pre-ride tips to assist with your preparation routine.<\/p>\n

Hydrate<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dehydration can affect your ability to reach maximum effort! Drink 500ml of water 4 \u2013 6 hours prior to riding and stay hydrated throughout your ride by drinking small amounts every 10 \u2013 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

Fuel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aim to eat meals rich in nutrients, carbohydrates, and proteins in preparation. It\u2019s recommended only eating 30g \u2013 60g of carbohydrates per hour prior to riding, as it will ease digestion and sustain your endurance. Some options include pasta, vegetables, bread, whole grains, and fruit.\u00ad<\/p>\n
