Getting your race nutrition right is one of the most important aspects of your race. Not only will you feel energised and fueled the whole way, but you’ll also avoid “bonking”. Do you know how much and what nutritional fuel you should be taking in during your race?

If you’re doing a short race (under 90 minutes) you’ll be able to sustain yourself with one 750ml bottle, a good breakfast and a gel or bar – carbs are king for short, intense days on the bike. However, if you’re doing a longer race (over 3 hours), you’ll need to consume at least 500 calories an hour (after the first hour).

Always eat breakfast! Just like you would before any training ride, make sure you have breakfast around 2 hours before you start. Include carbohydrates as well as protein. Oats and toast with peanut butter are a great option – but stick to what you know.
