Nutritional Support to get the best out of the Noosa Ultimate Sports Fest

Whether you are competing in the Noosa Ultimate Sports Fest for fun, training hard on a regular basis for a personal best or are a weekend warrior, the goal is always the same – to perform to the best of your ability. Along with training, nutritional requirements need to be considered to get the best out of your race.

The main requirements to be aware of to ensure optimal performance are:

• Hydration – having a good electrolyte balance during training sessions and competing is important in maintaining fluid levels – losing even 2% of your body weight in sweat can affect performance.
• Energy – Endurance events such as the 7 Local News Half Marathon require you to be aware of your nutrient intake to keep you performing throughout the race. Even if you choose to enhance your performance by adopting a diet like the Endura Paleo-Performance Eating Plan to turbo-boost your performance on the day, consider additional supplementation with Endura Rehydration, Optimizer and Gels. It is important to have adequate carbohydrate intake to replenish glycogen stores and give you fuel to keep going.
• Sufficient magnesium stores – exercise increases magnesium loss which can result in reduced exercise capacity, muscle cramps and weakness.
• Adequate protein – to maintain and repair muscle mass and boost your performance.
• To lessen muscular pain and to improve recovery after exercising, Endura recommend adopting the Endura Paleo-Performance Eating Plan into your lifestyle. 

How can sports nutrition help your training and performance?

Depending on the type and length of your race there are nutritional requirements to consider before, during and after the event. Endura products are specially designed to meet the requirements of athletes who want to perform their best. The following products may be suitable for use in your racing event:

Endura™ Optimizer Endura™ Optimizer contains valuable electrolytes as well as hydrolysed protein and high performance branched chain carbohydrates.
