Event or Race Day Planning for Endurance Athletes
So, you did it. You signed up for that big goal event.
What’s your plan for eating and drinking during that event? Oh, you don’t have one? Let us help!
We design plans for endurance events ranging from half marathons to Olympic triathlons to Ironmans, ultramarathons and even multi-day excursions and multi-stage races.
Your race is hot? Not a problem. Your next race is cold and lasts for 4 days? Pfft. You’re backpacking the AT and weight and space are an issue? On it!
This package is for runners, cyclists, marathon swimmers, randonneurs, hikers and backpackers, adventure racers, canoe and kayak aficionados, cross-country ski trippers, and anyone else who wants to spend their time outside instead of inside and sweat while they’re having fun!
- Know exactly what to eat and drink before, during, and after your race.
- Be confident that your everyday eating strategies will maximize gains in strength, power, and speed from all those training sessions.
- Get those hydration, cramping, and GI issues RESOLVED!
What do you get?
- A very specific plan for during your event presented in both graphic and text formats
- A best-case scenario fueling and hydration plan, backup plans, and emergency backup plans (because things happen!)
- Extensive discussions about dealing with race day fueling and hydration setbacks so that you can adjust as needed. Laurie won’t be racing next to you, so knowing how to adapt on your own is invaluable!
- Or, extensive discussions about the route, ensuring fresh water, emergency equipment, potential hazards, and more!
Dr. Schubert requires a minimum of four months of subscription services for endurance race day planning.
Disclaimers and Information
These subscription services need to begin AT LEAST four months before your event. Shorter timelines do not allow for sufficient testing of fueling strategies and sweat test data collection, or for planning for food drops and packing.
Also, if Dr. Schubert requests data, it’s for a reason. If you purchase this service but provide no data, you get her best guess, not her solid, data-driven recommendations.
