Visiting the Leopard Avengers

This weekend I was in Caen (14) to visit the local Leopard Avengers for a Sunday Workshop in an amazing roller hockey hall, with a perfect smooth ground and a glass roof, which was part of an impressive sports complex, two steps away from the city hall downtown!

MY TRAIN WAS LATE.

I missed my 16:10 train so I took the next one.

I finally find the time to write about the second part of my conclusions on my meeting with a sports nutritionist! In a previous post, I described the phases of hydration before-during-after effort. Now I will focus on what (is recommended) to eat, how and when, and how to optimize both your digestion and the energy supply for good effort conditions.  I know that this is quite a long post but you will probably find a useful tip or two!

THREE HOURS

are needed in order to complete your DIGESTION. 

This leads to a couple of comments:

• It is not recommended to do physical activity immediately after eating, the best choice being 3 hours after food intake.
• Every 3 hours, you need to refuel.
