Founded over 40 years ago by a sportsman seeking to meet a specific nutritional need that would enable him to achieve performance in his sport, without the associated inconvenience, Overstims has since become a leading company in its field. This year, they will accompany you before, during and after your race by offering you the best possible nutritional experience.
Why are we talking about a nutritional experience?
The MB Race is an energy-intensive event, and good nutrition is essential for optimum performance. The right diet helps to maintain a constant energy level, improve recovery after exercise, and prevent injury. In addition, good hydration and balanced snacks during exercise help maintain concentration and endurance. In short, eating well when mountain biking not only helps you perform better in the moment, but also helps you make progress over the long term.
– Feeding at D-3:
In the three days leading up to your event, it’s essential to build up your energy reserves to improve your resistance and endurance. To do this, opt for a diet rich in carbohydrates, while limiting foods that can upset your digestion. In fact, it’s best to limit consumption of raw fruits and vegetables, legumes, fried foods and dishes that are too spicy or high in fiber, as these can cause digestive discomfort.
TheAntioxidant Malto is an effective solution for boosting your energy reserves without having to eat copiously and saturating the digestive system.
– Race morning:
Don’t consume anything unusual and don’t try any new strategies.
A good pre-race breakfast should be rich in carbohydrates, moderate in protein and low in fat to optimize energy and aid digestion.
