Make you end of the year race your biggest success.

Recovery and hydration are the keys to a well planned taper. Fuel up with Base Performance Nutrition to ensure that you get to the start line rested, recovered, and ready to go.  Nutrition is one of the most important components to recovery and it becomes even more important as we near our final races of the season when we are resting and letting our muscles repair.

By taking Base Amino consistently over the final weeks or month leading up to your race you will ensure that your muscles are getting the correct fuel that will help you get to your peak level. If you are racing in the next couple of weeks of months, chances are your season has been long.  During a long season it is hard to maintain high performances and peak condition; your body needs more fuel to keep you going. The body has become efficient at using fuel and needs protein, more importantly amino acids in order to fight that overtraining bug that creeps up towards the end of the season. Use Base Amino before every run, swim and bike to ensure your body has those amino acids readily available to be used as energy, so that you body does not loose any muscle mass over the final weeks leading up to your race. Make sure to take Base Amino during exercise lasting longer than one hour and take another serving directly after exercise within that 30 minute window which is so essential to post-exercise recovery.

Hydration is the building block to health. Everything starts from being well hydrated. Your body digests nutrients more efficiently, muscles fire more forcefully and you are able to recover faster. Hydration is cumulative; if you do not drink enough before an event in the week or weeks leading up to a race then your body will not be fully hydrated.  It is exponentially important for you to focus on hydration in the week leading up to your race.  Combine a gallon of filtered water with one ounce of Base Water to take with you throughout your day in the week leading up to an event. By taking Base Water you will be fully hydrated and recovered come race day.

Good luck at the races!
