8 mile run - 24 mile bike - 8 mile run, acheived by doing 5 laps of box hill in surrey.
I've entered and currently training but wanted to ask advice on drinks of all things.
I drink water when I train and kinda reasoned it would do me good in the long run compared with drinking isotonic stuff. rationale being I'm forcing my body to get good at using what it has instead of relying on taking on more sugar.
I do plan to use isotonic stuff during the race and will probably eat a banana or a snickers too but am I limiting the value of my training by not taking on anymore sugar? or is my puritanical approach the better? (mentally and physically??!!)
cheers
