Effective energy management, muscle recovery and injury prevention are all factors that should not be overlooked when training for a marathon. Regardless if you’re a seasoned runner or just starting out, sports
nutrition should always be a big part of your preparation.
To help you choose your supplements to improve your
performance, we’ve put together a simple programme to help your preparation.
BCAA 4.1.1: Improve muscle recovery by limiting muscle fiber degradation caused by intense training sessions.
Beta-Alanine: This helps to
increase endurance by neutralizing lactic acid and provides an anti-inflammatory
effect.
Cluster Dextrin: This is a carbohydrate providing a slow-release supply
of glycogen (energy) without being too heavy on the stomach during long
training sessions.
Magnesium Citrate: Helps reduce
lactic acid and muscle inflammation for improved endurance.
Energy bar: Is rich in
carbohydrates and is very easy to digest. Ideal for providing an energy boost
during your long runs or on marathon day.
Collagen: Helps to lubricate tendons and provides better protection against
running-related injuries.
