Today’s Topics • Hydration and Electrolytes • When to eat what • Protein requirements • Supplements
Replenish Don’t Replace • Your body cannot replace fluids and nutrients at the same rate it depletes them. • There is no need to replace sugar or electrolytes during short bouts of exercise.
Hydration • Most athletes, under most conditions, need 20-25 ounces/hour - roughly the equivalent of a standard size small or large water bottle. • Lighter athletes and/or athletes exercising in cool weather conditions may only require an intake of 16-18 ounces/hour. • Larger athletes and/or athletes exercising under very hot and humid conditions may consider intake of 28-30 ounces/hour.
Electrolytes • Sodium • Potassium • Magnesium • Calcium • What are electrolytes? • Minerals the body uses to conduct electricity through the nervous system and to help muscles contract and relax. • Your daily dietary sodium intake, fitness level, acclimatization, and the environmental conditions (heat, humidity, etc.) all affect the amount of electrolytes you will need to replenish during/after exercise. • No more than 100-600 milligrams of sodium chloride/hour. • 1tsp of salt = 2,325 mg sodium

Protein Needs • 150# Athlete • Divide by 2.2 • = 68kg • Multiply by 1.2-2.0 • = 81g – 136g protein/day • OR… • Moderate training – .45 grams per pound = 67g • Heavy training – .5-.75 grams per pound = 75 - 113g • Super training – .8-.9 grams per pound = 120 - 135g

Joints • Supporting your Cartilage • Cartilage is composed of collagen fibers that impart tensile strength, and proteoglycan molecules (especially chondroitin) that serve as a cushion for joint impact. Lifestyle factors and age can both contribute to a breakdown of healthy cartilage and lead to discomfort, which can lead to nutrient and fluid deprivation of the affected cartilage. • Chondro-Flx 3/day • Collagen- 1 scoop/day
Magnesium!!! • Deficiency: Insomnia, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, High Blood Sugar, Anxiety/Depression, ADHD, Muscle Cramps (Charlie Horses), Eye Twitch, Chocolate Cravings. • Foods: Beef, Salmon, Leafy Greens, Nuts/Seeds, Avocados, Black Beans • Supplement with 300-400mg
Take a ways • Hydration is key. • Need adequate protein for recovery • Build your meals around a protein source • No need to use electrolyte replacements/gels on shorter runs lasting an hour or less • Supplements may be necessary to help support our bodies when food is not enough • Food fuels you so make sure you make it a priority
