Endurance sports and nutrition: the key to crossing the finish line successfully!

New year, new challenges! Maybe you’ve decided to sign up for your first 10K, conquer a half marathon, or even tackle an Ironman? You’re not alone! Endurance sports are growing in popularity, and more people are setting themselves ambitious athletic challenges.

When it comes to preparation, we invest hours in training, religiously follow our race plan, buy the right shoes… but what about our nutrition? And yet, what you put on your plate (and in your water bottle!) can make all the difference between crossing the finish line with a smile or having a bad experience when you race.

Signs that your nutrition could be optimized

Have you ever wondered why some runners seem to fly down the track while others hit a wall halfway through? The answer often lies in their nutrition.

When you underestimate the importance of sports nutrition…

Here’s what can happen if you don’t pay special attention to your diet when preparing for a sporting event:

• Cramps that slow you down at mile 15
• Digestive discomfort (nausea, stomach ache, diarrhea) halfway through the race
• A sudden drop in energy that makes every pedal stroke or stride more difficult
• Dizziness that forces you to slow down

The good news is that these issues can be avoided! They are often the result of inadequate hydration, poor meal timing, or a nutritional strategy that is not tailored to your needs during the race.

Why start early?

Imagine testing your nutrition for the first time on race day… not ideal, right? Your body needs to get used to your nutrition strategy during training. It’s like your running shoes: you would never wear them for the first time on race day!

Nautilus Plus accompanies you to the finish line

Good news! Look no further! Nautilus Plus has just launched its brand-new nutrition service for endurance sports. Because there is very little specialized nutritional support in this field, our International Olympic Committee (IOC)-certified nutritionists have created packages tailored to your ambitious goals:

• Introductory Package: perfect for a 10K or half marathon with 10 to 12 weeks of preparation
• Semi-Pro Package: ideal for a marathon or half Ironman, with 20 weeks of preparation
• Pro Package: designed for ultimate challenges such as Ironman or long-distance trail running, with 40 weeks of preparation

Each package includes a personalized initial assessment, a nutrition plan tailored to your sport and training phases, and regular follow-ups to optimize your performance.

You can found all the details on the webpage dedicated to this service.
