Frequently asked questions
How much should I eat during an Ironman?
Aim for 60-90g of carbohydrates per hour and 500-750ml of fluid per hour on the bike. The run requires less but fuelling remains critical. Practise your nutrition strategy in training — race day is not the time to experiment.
Do I need to fuel during a Sprint triathlon?
Usually not — most athletes can complete a Sprint on stored glycogen. Staying hydrated is important; eating solid food is rarely necessary for the 45-90 minute effort.
