Want to get more from your training?
_
Stop ignoring your nutrition
_
More specifically, your nutrient timing aka when you eat what
_
Yes you can make progress and have successful sessions, but if there was something relatively easy to implement that you could do to make them better, you'd do it right?
_
Some things you can do to support your training š
_
1ļøā£ Eat a carbohydrate rich meal prior (~ 1hr before) to training - something that you enjoy and that digests well
_
2ļøā£ Don't 'save' food for the end of the day and have very little during the day, prioritise carbohydrate around training and get regular meals in.
3ļøā£ Hydrate - exercise performance is impaired by dehydration and it is harder to rehydrate during a session than it is to maintain a good level of hydration throughout the day
_
4ļøā£ Quality of food in general matters, and probably more than you think - adequate micronutrient intake supports muscle function along with growth and repair
_
5ļøā£ Consider intra-workout carbohydrates if you're completing particularly long sessions - think 1hr+ of high intensity, long runs etc
_
(Not so) coincidentally, a lot of these things support your general health and wellbeing and often help you be more concentrated and feel less fatigued throughout the day
_
These are the kind of things I discuss with clients to help them get the most from their training, along with feeling healthier in general
