59 yr old B enduro racer, and no matter what I take extreme leg cramps are always a problem, not too bad during the race, it's on the way home, I've had to pull over and spill myself out of my truck and scream in pain.
No one wants that. What does post-race nutrition look like? How long are drives home normally? How long into your drive do the leg cramps typically start?
@@SeatTime They will start when trying to dress back in street clothes, trying not to bend my legs. Drive home is always a couple 2 or 3hrs,,, post race is Ryno power recovery + ryno power hydration fuel also before and during and post, +ryno power electrolytes bfore and after.
All good products. How much water do you consume during the day? Do have have a general idea how much of the ryno products you do consume on a race day?
@@SeatTime I drink a lot of water everyday since I only drink water coffee and milk, so 4 to 5 bottles of water daily, step it up 2 to 3 before race day, hydration powder one drink day before race, 1 morning of race, 1 on the way there and 1 after, 2 pills of motivation 15min before race, 2 pill electrolytes 45min before race and 2 after race and 5 endurance pills 45min before race. oh and one banana 45min before race
great video. ive tried very hard in the past to prepare for my races but i didnt really know what i was doing too well. this atleast gives a general outline to follow. ill probably come back to this video multiple times.
I don’t hydrate enough. Last summer the bros introduced me to energy gels. That helped a lot during breaks in the ride to get energy back up, but I need to hydrate more before the ride.
Start the day before, add some fruit in there. Then morning of have some water with your coffee; sip of coffee, sip of water. Drink during those breaks in the ride as well. Add electrolytes earlier if you cramp, not once you start cramping.
Used to love to race Red River at Muenster. I'd hit up the ribeye sandwich the food truck they had after the race. I usually would make sure to walk a bit after the race.. take in a little more water and eat. I found if I sat down after getting off the bike I was a bit more sore the next day. Helped with the muscles. I would likely have a beer with the meal, but nothing crazy. I made sure to hydrate a little more leading into the race and eat a banana for snacks as well. I usually ate one pre-race and sometimes at gas, but did start putting a sandwich and a fruit to eat at gas, Usually a an apple or mandarin. I never really did much with nutrition while racing regular... not really sure why. I did use the GU packs usually at a rest stop early on and after gas. Just didn't put a lot of thought into it. Maybe I'd have done better if I did. Something to think about. I'd like to run a season again at some point.
That’s exactly why I’ve decided to run a season again! I want to see what I can accomplish when I give a bit more effort in all the areas I have control over.
Great advice! I can't stress what he said about to not try new things on race day. go out and try this stuff out beforehand. everyone is different so you might find that certain supplements will work with your body better than others. also hammer nutrition has gels that have caffeine which are a great alternative to gum!
Caffeine gels are GREAT! I just personally stay away from them due to my psoriatic arthritis. I'm very particular with the supplements I use to try and not cause flareups.
Depends on my situation really. If I camp at the races or roll in at morning time. Ill do oat meal and bananas and pb&j for breakfast some fruit. Then Gas or whenever I can shove down another pb&j or some kind of protein bar. I really need to get better at having a routine. Makes a huge difference when your putting yourself through that kind of sometimes torture lol.... But I love it!! @@SeatTime
I personally use UCAN Energy Powder in my hydration bladder and it works awesome for me. I also mix in LMNT for electrolytes. UCAN: amzn.to/48OtBmW If you want a carb drink that has electrolytes already mixed in, Ryno Power or Tailwind are good options. RP Hydrate Fuel: amzn.to/47E3jTo or Tailwind: amzn.to/3O7cHI8 I like to make my own mix of carbs/electrolytes because I use more than the pre-mixed options typically come with. Also, UCAN doesn't flare up my Psoriatic Arthritis like most others do.
