Optimal nutrition around competition is difficult in itself, never mind when you throw in travel.

Being able to manage your nutrition on the road is a one-way ticket to maintaining health, and recovery, and ultimately eliminating any worries that your performance will be impaired. Domestic or international, 1 week or 1 day, it’s all the same and should be planned accordingly.

Here are my 5 tips to consider in the lead-up and whilst you are away at your respective competitions away from home.

#1: Know Your Logistics

Plan as MUCH as possible.

This includes

  • Travel day plans (departure/arrival time, journey time, where you will be during that day at different times)
  • Accommodation research (time from airport/train station etc. to the accommodation, time from accommodation to competition venue etc.)
  • FULL competition day(s) breakdown
