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 has
the 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.
