[@uMsubathi]

She knows her story

[@andrewfpalmer]

Always appreciate these videos! Any guidance/tips on how much sodium to consider consuming?

[@Southerncyclist]

Performance supplements EPO 🤣. She said creatine what is your RCA s experience with cyclist and creatine. I used to cramp when I took 5 grams a day and cycled .

[@damirized]

On the beet it bottle it says to stop using it six days before event. You said to start using it six days before and even a few hours before a race. Can you please elaborate on the usage? Thanks

[@broersporco]

tnx for the tips , I'm always afraid to drink too much before the race, I often have to urinate because of this. also during the race . any suggestions for this ? .

[@hermanfourie7714]

I didn't realize how much you need to eat the hours before a race!

[@kieronlewis1101]

Bread pre race, not for me unless i want lethargy and brain fog on the start line. Sultanas yes, jam, dark chocolate, energy bars, bananas honey my favourites.

[@roadcyclingacademy]

Yes, understand bread/gluten is not going to work for some. Thanks for sharing on the thread Kieron.

[@Wretcho84]

KoS reppin'!

[@tihohohoho]

Is it just sodium to avoid cramps? Any other tips?

[@jonoharper4729]

The science suggests a blend of magnesium, potassium and sodium is the best solution to manage cramping. Some products have these all in one, at the correct ratios for most effective absorption.

I've never taken Bi-Carb but it sounds horrible. I take beta alanine for lactate buffering and it works fine. No gut issues.

[@noahserrault]

That's why you have to test how much works for you, it really is a game changer

[@pistolpetebelliveau]

does it work better than beta alanine ?

[@secretagent86]

My in race nutrition (1970s) was wholly inadequate and i tended to bonk after 50 to 75 miles

[@Omnis2]

1:25 Mate, you need another hour for a good shit after you've downed the pre-race gut bomb.

[@Duc2B]

The more races I do, the less I eat before and during. And my performances increase. I believe we are all different and it's up to everyone to find his own nutrition.

[@infinati]

Or maybe you are getting fitter and your performance isn’t correlated to your nutrition strategy 🤷‍♂️

[@redleaderone8429]

eat more sugar less fat .simple
