    CytoStation You Are What You Eat
    Making nutrition work for you

    We?ve all had it happen ? that terrible four-letter word that spells trouble and in some cases the premature and unsatisfying end of an event. It?s the bonk. But you don?t have to let it beat you, Racelab coach Bettina Warnholtz told a group of athletes at a free nutrition clinic held in September at Triple Sports.

    ?The questions are always: What food? How much food? And when?? she said. ?Nutrition during training and racing will depend on many different needs.? How fast and far training and racing sessions last determine the bulk of nutrition and hydration needs. It helps to think of each as individual components that should be prepared for and planned on before going out the door.

    For example, Warnholtz said, the body will feast on a small supply of stored glycogen during fast sessions such as tempo runs, 5Ks, sprint triathlons or short time trials. Longer, slower efforts steer the body to fat for a more sustained energy.

    Replacing calories in short distance events (those lasting one hour or less) likely will not be required. An energy gel or perhaps a sports drink with electrolytes should be more than enough to do the trick, she said.

    In longer distance efforts, of course, maintaining energy needs becomes more complicated. The body needs calories to continue pushing forward, but eating 800-calorie Big Macs is not necessarily the answer. Whether it?s gels, drinks or bars, find out what works best for yourself. There is not just one answer.

    Warnholtz added that energy should be consumed with the right mix of carbohydrates and protein.

    Look for a 4-8 percent carbohydrate concentration in energy drinks, she said, and reserve protein intake for longer distance efforts to avoid stomach upheaval.

    ?It?s very important that you read labels,? she said. ?I really suggest that with nutrition the more you read, the more you know, the better choices you will make.?
