Thank you AR on AR! My wife and I just completed a virtual AR here in BC Canada called MOMAR, Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race. It was cancelled this year of course but the organizers created a great virtual one. We both have been watching your videos and kept you very important tips and insights during our little VAR. I hope we see more videos soon!
Thank you, I just did a 24hr rogaine feeding exclusively on sweet food and my partner ended up like Daniel at the Eco challenge haha. And to make things better it was just on time with a heavy rain event... which brings my next comment: - How to prepare for the different types of weather? (especially heavy rain)
Good question. Yep, will address that. Essentially it's about layering, and accepting you're going to get wet no matter what you wear, and then developing strategies to deal with it.
@@ARonAR Definitely looking forward to that, I pressume you are a sports nutrionist by now :-). Specially things like salt intake (and how much), low-carbs diets, and stuff like supplements (vitamins etc.) during a long multi day race.
Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the next instalment! I've recently started using Tailwind and really like the product. I had no digestive issues, the flavours were really mild and there's no mess. I definitely noticed the added calories kept my energy levels more consistent between opportunities to eat solid foods. I'm avoiding the Tailwind flavours with caffeine though as I don't like the energy spikes. Do you take any supplements or nutraceuticals to help combat inflammation and lack of full nutrition on longer races?
Understood. I guess it's probably stress-related - the mental pressure cooker of race day, or are you pushing yourself much harder on race day than during training? I can't think of anything else, if it's a regular occurrence. Q: what are you eating? Specifically. 🤔
@@ARonAR it think it's definitely the added stress of race day. I don't think I'm pushing harder though, but mainly longer. Through trail and lots of error I've learned I needed more salt and less sweets. Sausages work very well for me, but I still never race without feeling sick.
@@XEinstein Another factor could be how much you eat pre-race, or during the race. I never carbo-load, and often do fasted training. IF you haven't tried that, it's definitely a good idea. Sometimes I'll start an ultra having only eaten half a cup of Greek yoghurt and a coffee with double cream, and not eating anything else for the first 5hrs etc. :)
@@ARonAR interesting. I find that now after five years of training my endurance, I now need less food when I'm out on my longer weekend trainings than I needed when I started, so there surely seems to be some merit in not eating too much. Perhaps. I'll see if I can get that worked into some trainings.

Hehehe, excellent! Yes, get out there and have a crazy adventure, it's the perfect recipe for sanity 😁
Really helpful, thanks AR
Another great video. Thank you!
Excellent content!

Can you do a video on food for an expedition race?
Yup, it's WELL overdue. But, I will get to it. :)

Yup, I'll be mentioning that in the episode about Food for multi day racing, soon. There's quite a lot of detail :)
I'm training for my first race so I don't have much experience but I think you could heat up your food in the back of a kayak while you're paddling
5:17 my problem is that I still get sick to the stomach on race day even if I'm only racing with nutrition that worked just fine during training
