T -8: The day before the race, the pre-event meal
Listen now
Description
In the third episode of this special 6 part podcast series, we check in with our athlete guest Brett Kennedy less than 8 weeks out from the 100km UItra Trail Australia (UTA). We catch up on his attempts to collect sweat rate data, and how he's gone with his gut training. We then focus on planning nutrition for the day before his race, and the pre-event meal. If you're racing UTA or another event in May or June you can follow along and apply the same principles to your own race nutrition preparations. T-12 is a brand new, unique podcast series that follows an athlete's journey as they prepare for race day. Over the final 12 weeks before the big event, we'll look at all aspects of race nutrition, from organising accomdation and race foods, to gut training and hydration, to eating during the taper and the day before the race. A big thanks to Aid Station who have come on board to provide Brett with the race-provided products to try in training, to assist with his race nutrition planning.
