How to fuel for a training camp (or train-cation)

Trimarni

Disclaimer: Neither Campy nor I encourage the consumption of alcohol during a training camp.
Truth be told - I don't never drink alcohol. 

Although your racing may be on hold, your training shouldn't stop. More so, you should still feel the need to fuel your inner athlete...which means incorporating big training days, personal challenges or a heavy training week into your training regime.

Better fueling and hydration strategies before/during/after workouts give you better performances and improved health. It’s that simple. With races postponed, there's no better time than now to start (or to continue) designing and fine-tuning your personalized hydration and fueling plan. Event day is not the time to try the latest sport bar or to invent a new homemade sport drink. Instead, use your big training days and personal challenges (ex. virtual or mock races) to figure out the best sport nutrition strategy for your needs.

While the nutrition you consume during workouts is extremely important, your body performs at its best when you put energy into your daily diet. In other words, well-timed daily and exercise hydration practices will help reduce the risk of dehydration and heat illness, minimize early fatigue, improve central nervous functioning, optimize cardiovascular, digestive and thermoregulatory functioning, enhance recovery, protect the immune system, maintain energy levels throughout the day and make for a more enjoyable training session.

To learn more about what and when to eat before and after a training camp, here are four detailed blogs from Kathleen at Eat Love Triathlon (our Trimarni camp chef) who did a wonderful job explaining the meals and snacks that we consumed throughout camp (and why)....not to mention an incredible job keeping us well fueled and nourished!
