Triathlon Fueling Guidelines
Sports Dietitian Bob Seebohar was the personal sports dietitian for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Triathlon team and takes a cutting-edge approach to nutrition with his Metabolic Efficiency Training philosophy. As an early adopter of UCAN products, Bob has developed his own nutrient timing system for UCAN based on the experiences of hundreds and athletes and coaches he’s worked with.
UCAN products are powered by SuperStarch®, a unique energy source that delivers a slow-release of complex carbs to give you steady, long-lasting energy. UCAN delivers energy in a different manner compared to sugar-based fuel sources, so it has its own fueling protocol that you can use to guide you as you practice your fueling strategy in training.
The recommendations above may need to be adjusted based on the intensity of your training and your individual metabolism. Some triathletes use UCAN as the exclusive fuel source for their training and races, while others start off fueling with UCAN and switch over to something else later in the race. Practice fueling in your training to see what works best for you!
