- Before exercise – no fat for 60 minutes before, 2g glutamine 60-90 minutes before;
- During exercise – plenty of plain water (ie 200ml every 10-15 minutes if training in 18-21°C);
- After exercise – avoid sugar for two hours post exercise but take 25g protein immediately afterwards in the form of either a protein shake, protein bar, lean meat or eggs (although you should limit your consumption of eggs to avoid too much cholesterol).
