You can train your stomach! Here are the 6 basic tips...

Taking an interest in nutrition only the day before an event, or afterward to recover, means missing the essentials. A nutrition strategy is established over the long term and applied every day: a competition-ready stomach is earned!

Each training cycle has its own objective: increasing endurance, speed, strength, technique, or even efficiency. In the same way, a nutrition strategy is built around specific goals.

These goals can vary: losing or gaining weight, losing fat or increasing muscle mass, or simply being healthier. To achieve these goals, some nutritionists recommend periodizing your nutrition strategy, just as your training schedule is “periodized.”

Indeed, nutrition can be viewed as a function depending on your energy expenditure and physical objectives associated with each phase of your training cycle.

Here are some tips for fueling yourself effectively:

• Your stomach needs warming up: This means finding the foods and drinks you tolerate well during your training sessions. The more intense your training sessions are, the more difficult digestion will be: blood flow is focused on supplying the muscles and moves away from the stomach. Therefore, as your experience and the intensity of your sessions increase, what worked for you at the beginning may become unsuitable. Nutrition must adapt. How easily a sports nutrition product can be digested and absorbed is a decisive factor. To reduce the risk of “rejection,” it is important to identify and test new combinations. You need to find the right “sequence” that will allow you to keep going over the long term and avoid cramps and accumulating fatigue.

This essentially means alternating:

• Test things out: unsure about the best strategy to adopt for your next race? Test it under almost real conditions during training; this remains the best way to see what works and what your body rejects. Training sessions as intense as your race will help you find out what your stomach tolerates and what it rejects.

• Beware of excess: running on a full stomach is not easy. In addition, there are benefits to training fasted, which we explore in this article. By consuming little or no carbohydrates before your training sessions, your metabolism gradually becomes more efficient.

• The devil is in the details: Your nutrition and hydration strategy must constantly evolve according to the circumstances. Even a slight change in conditions can have consequences.

• Prepare yourself: To avoid deviating from your nutrition plan, the safest approach is to make sure everything is ready and available for race day. Your future self will thank you.

• Nature knows best: Fruits and vegetables contain a great many nutrients that will help you perform better, recover faster, or simply be healthier. A substantial and varied intake of fruits and vegetables forms the foundation of a balanced diet.

In conclusion, even for the most sensitive stomachs, there are always solutions based on healthy, easy-to-digest, energy-rich products that are very rarely rejected.
