PERFORMANCE POINTS:

Drink ½ to 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight per day to maintain hydration.

Think before you drink. Don’t hydrate with high-sugar beverages such as soda and fruit drinks.

Use sports drinks for improving performance. If your training is longer than an hour or if it takes place in intense heat, use a carbohydrate-electrolyte or a carbohydrate+electrolyte+protein drink to enhance your performance.

CHAPTER 7 SUMMARY: Endurance training creates heavy nutritional demands, but many endurance athletes often fail to fuel their bodies properly. The key is to recognize that nutrition goes a long way toward determining performance and overall health. Even amid a hectic schedule, it’s possible to eat for optimum health and performance. Good strategies include eating every 3 hours; finding a proper balance of carbs, proteins, and fats; and staying properly hydrated.
