THE LONG GAME

In any endurance sport – long-distance running, cycling, swimming or otherwise – maintaining sufficient energy is the name of the game. Your nutrition strategy can make or break your endurance efforts: get it right and you’ll have the reserves needed to go the distance; get it wrong and the dreaded ‘wall’ won’t be far away. The right fuel, at the right times, will also help you replenish depleted energy stores, repair muscle damage and ultimately recover quicker ahead of your next outing.
