How to Fuel Your Body for Adventure Race Australia

The average competitor will take between 4 -7 hours for this event.

1. Keep fluid intake during exercise between 550-800/ml per hour.
2. Keep Calorie consumption to a maximum of 300 cal / hour. (1260 kj/ Hr)
3. Measure exactly what calories/kj you are consuming. Taking too much can be worse than not enough!
4. Separate your hydration from your nutrition on the bike to stop confusion
5. Only consume complex Carbohydrates until the last 20-30 minutes of the run.
6. Use some form of extra Electrolyte supplementation. The longer and hotter your event the more you will need this.

Your Nutrition Plan for Adventure Race Australia

1. Hammer recommends using either H.E.E.D or Perpeutem in combination with HammerGel and  Endurolytes

• Start with 1 bottle HEED (2 scoops – 200 calories) drink 1 before exchanging bottles. 
• Also take 1 HammerGel. Total Calories = 300 max.
• Add 1-3 Endurolytes / hour. Repeat for 2nd hour on bike.
• 3rd hour take 2 HammerGels per hour.
• Add 1-3 Endurolytes.
• We prefer that athletes take on slightly less fuel towards the end of the bike to ensure possible gastro problems will be reduced when the run starts.
  
  Perpetuem. Some may prefer this. If so use a 2 hour bottle and place approx 4 scoops in the bottle. Divide the bottle into 2 and consume 1/2 of a bottle/hour

2. On the run take 2 -3 HammerGels per Hour, plus 1-3 Endurolytes. Drink 550 -800 ml per hour. Avoid simple sugars until the last 20-30 minutes.

3. When finished refuel within 20-30 minutes with Recoverite (2-3 scoops)
