Feeding Protocol During Competition

(Andrew Roberts) #1

Does anyone have some good references about what feeding protocol we should use during a swim meet?
I am mostly doing sprints, so I wonder if I should go off ketosis or not during the meet?

Thank you! I am sure that endurance works with keto, but for sprints and middle distance, I wonder what the experience is?

I remember @richard mentioning this in a podcast about athletics and carbs vs ketones that carbs showed a boost for short term while ketones were longer lasting boost

That is something that prof Tim Noakes mentioned on Catalyst
