18.01.2022 Get your training and racing nutrition sorted and your chances of success on race day will increase enormously. C A R B L O A D I N G . For open water swims lasting longer than ~2 hours, carb loading prior is a useful tool. With plenty of swimmers planning 10km qualifying races for @rottoswim and @porttopub, now is the time to start trialling a protocol that best suits you.... Carb Load facts Carb loading super saturates glycogen stores, meaning more fuel in the tank for the next day. Aim to carb load 24-36 hours prior to your race. Aim for 8-10g CHO/kg body mass. Or at least more carbs then you would normally have. Use lower fibre foods, less filling and less bulk for the next day. Example foods include smoothies, bananas, white rice and pasta, crumpets and juice. Trial at least once prior to an important race! Studies show a potential performance benefit of 2-3% and delay fatigue by 20%. ( Burke & Deakin, 2015). Need help? The team of Accredited Sports Dietitians at nutrition works will help get you on track with a personalised plan. Contact them through www.nutritionworks.com.au or chat to them at the sponsor stall on race day.
