SVENSSON, THE IDEAL PARTNER FOR YOUR TRIATHLON

Are you venturing into your first triathlon soon? Or are you training for Iron Man? Just like a marathon, the combination of running, swimming and cycling also requires a lot of stamina and discipline. In order to cover every discipline of a triathlon during training, you as an athlete often train in the morning and evening. It is therefore no wonder that as a triathlon athlete you sometimes train for ten hours a week.

COMPLETE YOUR HARD TRAINING TO A GOOD END

However, the fact that those ten hours a week take up a lot of your free time should not mean that you neglect your diet. In the run-up to your triathlon, this is at least as important as your hours of training. To prevent health damage and to bring your heavy training to a successful conclusion, it is important that your body hasthe right nutrients. As a triathlete, it is best to aim for a healthy variety of carbohydrates, proteins and healthy fats. The carbohydrates replenish your energy reserves. The proteins, in turn, ensure a rapid recovery of your muscles after training and prevent injuries in the long term. For optimal performance, it is best to keep your fat percentage as low as possible. Therefore choose unsaturated fats that you find in olive oil, fish and nuts, for example.
