❌ABANDONMENT IN ULTRA TRAIL ❌by Guillaume Klein
During this ULTRA period, many trail runners are displaying ❌❌or DNF results. The dropout rate at this year’s UTMB is even approaching 40%.
Our ambassador Guillaume Klein discusses the main causes and areas for improvement. Enjoy the read.
👇One main cause👇
🚨Digestive problems 🚨
During an ultra-trail event, the digestive system is put under severe strain by repeated impacts, causing intestinal damage.
There is also a phenomenon of digestive ischemia, with reduced blood flow to the intestinal system in favor of the muscles.
➡️ A striking observation
Numerous digestive problems during exertion in ultra-trail competitions.
A problem resulting from failure to follow the principles of “health performance” nutrition
🔵 2 key areas to consider 🔵
1️⃣ The everyday dietary foundation
It is the nutritional balance of each day that will provide beneficial effects on energy output, digestive comfort, recovery and, consequently, optimize performance factors.
👉 What should you eat during the different meals of the day?
👉 What are the nutritional needs?
👉 How can you optimize digestion and health factors?
It is essential to frame your diet with a long-term “health performance” perspective, to lay the foundations for energy and absorption.
2️⃣ The specifics of sports nutrition
In addition to a well-structured everyday dietary foundation, high-quality sports nutrition tested in advance of the event helps prevent digestive problems during exercise while optimizing performance.
👉 How should you eat before exercise?
👉 Which energy products should you use during training and competitions?
👉 How should you manage nutrition after exercise to support recovery?
A specific approach that builds on the everyday nutritional balance of “health performance.”
🔴 Nutrition is just one element of the “performance pyramid” and works synergistically with all the “health performance” factors (appropriate training, quality sleep, stress and emotion management, etc.) that I use with the “EPIC Method.”
