During long training sessions, it's not just about getting enough energy.
It's about getting the right thing, at the right time.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Here's how we approach it ourselves.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Before training
- A balanced meal with a high proportion of carbohydrates , some protein and minimal fat/fiber = 2-3 hours before training
Provides long-lasting energy and is gentle on the stomach.
Refills energy stores and ensures good fluid balance before starting.
-
1× C35 Bar (if you are hungry) = 30min before training
Stable energy and a little satiety – without feeling heavy.

During training
Hourly:
Combination 1
Combination 2
Provides 60–75 g carbohydrate/hour + electrolytes and fluids .
Bonus: Variety in taste and texture makes it easier to eat enough – even in hour 4.

After training
Starts recovery quickly with both carbohydrates and protein.
