Breakfast before a triathlon is key: it can help you perform with sustained energy or sabotage your performance if you don't choose wisely.
You should: – Eat 2 to 3 hours before the event – Include simple carbohydrates like oatmeal, white bread, or banana – Hydrate with water and electrolytes like ZYM to avoid cramps
You shouldn't: – Experiment with new foods that day – Eat very fatty, high-fiber, or heavy foods – Run on an empty stomach (unless you've trained for it)
In this blog, we explain how to prepare your stomach to perform at its best during each stage: swimming, cycling, and running. Remember: nutrition also depends on training.
