Sports Nutrition Supplements
Step 1 - Fuel your workouts (VIper)
Eating 5-6 small meals a day provides your body with a constant fuel supply. Skipping meals may leave you feeling lethargic as your body is lacking the required nutrients for energy. Eat balanced meals containing complex carbohydrates, protein, good fats and fibre. The addition of quality carbohydrate drinks will give you the essential energy you need to train hard, delay fatigue and recover effectively when used before, during and after training. Viper is a superb formula, which addresses all of these needs and in addition helps you to retain motivation and focus during every training session.
Step 2 - Provision of protein (Promax Meal Bars)
A lack of quality protein will result in loss of speed, slower recovery and lack of energy. To gain muscle power and speed, extra protein from high quality sources is a must. Promax, Promax Extreme, Promax-Meal bars and meal replacement performance products such as Cyclone all contain whey protein to satisfy your needs. These products should not be your only protein source but should complement the proteins in your diet such as fish and lean meats.
Step 3 - Overcompensation & eliciting a training effect
When you exert your muscles, especially during high intensity training such as sprinting, your muscle fibres are naturally broken down. Your body overcompensates for this, so you are able to do the same amount of exercise with less effort next time. This is known as the 'training effect'. The Creatamax range could allow you to train more intensely and improve your ability to repeat these intense bouts, for example, improving ability to complete weight repetitions in the gym and/or speeding recovery between sprints.
Step 4 - Recover effectively (RecoverMax)
With the large exercise load that athletes commonly have, it is imperative to maximise recovery. If you neglect it you will limit your progress. Immediately after you finish training your body requires carbohydrates to refuel and protein to repair the muscles used. A 3:1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein, as is used in RecoverMax, has been shown to restore muscle carbohydrate levels (glycogen) and address muscle damage quickest. A serving of RecoverMax after each session will ensure you are ready for your next days ride and that you get the full benefits from all your hard work.
Step 5 - Minimise chances of injury (Ache-FREE / HMB-1000)
The high exercise load and repetitive motions that running entails can often result in injury. Although, thankfully, these are seldom serious they can result in missing training sessions and impaired performance. Ensuring you eat sufficient protein, and using HMB-1000, especially after training and races, will help your muscles to recover quickly, but you can also use sports nutrition to help protect your joints, ligaments and tendons. Ache Free, (a glucosamine formula), includes ingredients to strengthen cartilage, reduce inflammation and smooth the working of connective tissues
