Top 5 Swimrun Fueling Tips

Welcome to episode 238 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

In this week’s show we share our top 5 (10) fueling tips for Swimrun. Our fueling strategies have gotten so much better over the years and we have to give a lot of credit to the folks at Precision Fuel and Hydration for most, if not all, of the insight that we share in this episode. Get your notepads out for this one!

Top 5 tips:

  1. “Knowledge is Power” (Know your numbers/Train your gut/practice race day nutrition) 

  2. Proper fueling in training results in better recovery post-workout

  3. Develop a Pre-race fueling plan 

  4. Mindset shift to Take as many gels as possible, not the least 

  5. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket 

We also shared 5 bonus tips so listen for those.
