Drink Even When It’s Cold
We all know that serious dehydration can be a killer, but many people
fail to realise that even mild dehydration (fluid loss) of just 2%
bodyweight can reduce your performance by a performance sapping 10%.
A fluid loss of 4% body weight has been shown by research to reduce
performance by around 20%. A 5% body weight loss due to de-hydration
and you will be “flat out” in the medical tent!
Think that it cannot happen to you? It’s easy, even in cool
conditions to sweat away 2.5 litres of fluid in 3 hrs riding, and
that represents 3.5% bodyweight loss in a 75kg rider – and an
18% performance drop!
Below are some helpful nutrition tips for your MTB Marathon. |
