Nutrition is often just as important as the training session itself.
At times, it can mean a successful session or one where you do not achieve your goals. The key is to consume your last meal approx. 90 mins to 2 hours prior to the start of the session to ensure enough time to digest the food and replenish energy stores.Choose meals that are light, easy to digest and provide you with plenty of energy.
