Subject: refueling?ok, so I'm pretty new to all of this. I've been rowing at the college level for the past 4 years and the only thing I've ever known is no food 2.5/3hr before race/practice and I would typically drink about 32oz of water during a 2 hour practice (50-80min of work ). I read something on here the other day about someone eating around 5 gu packets during a 1hr ride. This seems really excessive. I've just been taking 1 bottle of water with me for rides 30miles or less, 2 for longer rides. How important is it to intake calories on the ride or would I still be fine eating a good meal post ride? |
