Toug\u00adher than the steel of the Trans-Sibe\u00adri\u00adan tracks<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Along the rou\u00adte of the Trans-Sibe\u00adri\u00adan rail\u00adway the riders cross eight time-zones and five dif\u00adfe\u00adrent cli\u00adma\u00adtes. They will endu\u00adre tem\u00adpe\u00adra\u00adtures bet\u00adween 0 and 40 degrees cen\u00adti\u00adgra\u00adde, wind, rain and often sket\u00adchy road or traf\u00adfic con\u00addi\u00adti\u00adons. The Aus\u00adtri\u00adan ener\u00adgy drink brand Red Bull is known for its cra\u00adze for super\u00adla\u00adti\u00adves and this is defi\u00adni\u00adte\u00adly one heck of a test. Each rider is accom\u00adpa\u00adnied by a sup\u00adport van, the\u00adre are cate\u00adring trucks, mecha\u00adnics, doc\u00adtors and PT\u2019s to bring the small pelo\u00adton safe and\u2026hopefully in one pie\u00adce to the finishline.<\/p>\n

I am sup\u00adport\u00ading Rafa\u00adel for some\u00adthing more than a year now with nutri\u00adtion advice for his mis\u00adsi\u00adon.

Increased trai\u00adning volu\u00admes and \u00abtrai\u00adning the gut<\/em>\u00bb <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Curr\u00adent\u00adly we are in pha\u00adse whe\u00adre we increase the dura\u00adti\u00adon of the rides in blocks of a few days. With plan\u00adned peri\u00adodiza\u00adti\u00adon of nut\u00adri\u00adent avai\u00adla\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty we addi\u00adtio\u00adnal\u00adly boost the trai\u00adning sti\u00admu\u00adlus.

It\u2019s gre\u00adat that for this we can rely on the expe\u00adri\u00adence and pro\u00adduct suport of the Swiss sports nutri\u00adtion com\u00adpa\u00adny Spon\u00adser<\/a>. Apart from the\u00adse chal\u00adlenges, it is alre\u00ada\u00addy a test to gob\u00adble down the increased amount of food for an ath\u00adle\u00adte working a full-time job. With this amount of trai\u00adning he needs bet\u00adween 3000\u200a\u2013\u200a8000 kcal every day in order not to tam\u00adper with his progress.<\/p>\n

One of the major neces\u00adsi\u00adties is to train the gut, so that it can digest and absorb high amount of enery under load. This is some\u00adthing most ath\u00adle\u00adtes negle\u00adct \u2013 in trai\u00adning, espe\u00adci\u00adal\u00adly tho\u00adse racing the lon\u00adger distances.<\/p>\n
