Planning
Proper meal planning is essential if you are competing in an all-day event. As a
responsible athlete, you must be aware of your schedule limitations, environment,
and personal needs to be able to plan well-tolerated meals, snacks, and beverages
to help support your energy and hydration requirements. It may seem like a
lot of extra work, but in the end, the reward of a great performance is priceless.
