Are you wondering what is the best fuel for an endurance athlete? There are a couple options to choose from to fuel yourself before, during, and after a race like whole foods, gels, and liquid fuel. Fueling your body in the right way as an Ironman athlete, triathlon athlete, or any sort of endurance athlete will help you keep up your stamina, help your GI tract make it through the race, and just have more energy overall. Make sure to stay all the way through because Dr. K is going to tell us all about how to use these different types of fuels so you can overcome cramping/bonking, improve your PR time, and finish your next race strong.

In this video, we're going to discuss the importance of properly fueling as an endurance athlete. After working with athletes and being one myself, I have found several critical pieces that are a part of a fueling and hydration routine. And I get asked about these all the time. We are going to concentrate on how to use carbohydrates to fuel yourself as an ironman athlete or a triathlete. Dr. Kirstin is going to cover how many carbs you should be consuming, when you should consume them, and from what source of carbs you should be using in races.   

If you're planning on participating in a triathlon, an ironman race, or any sort of endurance competition, then you need to be aware of the importance of fueling properly. This video will teach you all about one important type of fuel that a triathlete should be consuming, as well as the importance of timing and dosage. 

After watching this video, you'll be ready to start fueling for your next race!
