Planning Nutrition for a 70.3 Triathlon | TrainingPeaks For a Ironman 70.3 or other 4 to 7 hour event, nutrition can be an incredibly important factor. In shorter distance triathlons you can get away with making some nutrition mistakes, but during a 70.3 triathlon, it is more likely that you will be punished for nutrition errors. The nutritional issues during an Ironman 70.3 are: 1. Running out of fuel, hitting the wall, bonking, or just not being able to keep up the intensity during the last part of the race. 2. Becoming progressively dehydrated to an extent where this will limit performance. 3. Gastrointestinal problems such as stomach cramps, bloating, etc. that can have a negative impact on your performance. https://www.trainingpeaks.com/blog/planning-nutrition-for-a-70-3-triathlon/

Four Overlooked Features of Carbon Shoes | Slowtwitch When it comes to carbon shoes, there’s really not that much of a differentiation between them on paper. You find a proprietary hypercritical (or similar) foam, sandwiching a carbon fiber plate, and a lightweight upper to hold your foot to the platform. So choosing any of them should be the same, right?
