THE BEST RECOVERY NUTRITION FOR TRIATHLETES

Renee’s top 5 nutrition tips for triathletes

Protein within 20 minutes of you finishing your workout (all off them) to ensure you have made the most of the anabolic window. With L-glutamine (a natural supplement) L-Glutamine is an amino acid responsible for repairing the muscle tears that cause DOMS (delayed onset of muscle soreness)
3:1 ration carbs to protein when finishing, unless you have used carbs as part of your training, where only protein is required if you have loaded with carbs sufficiently
Ensure you weigh yourself before and after to ensure you a hydrated. A weight loss will generally point to dehydration which you can slowly drink fluid to make up the weight loss. Even a drink with protein in it will help this. If you are 1 kilo underwight - 1 litres of fluid.
Ensure you have some colour on your plate for all your means, antioxidants play a crucial part in your recovery and making free radicals whole again. Think of the colour as in a way of reducing inflammation.
Sleep, rest, meditate or head to a recovery lab…. all these things help to recovery. In fact there is nothing better than sleep!
