Pre-Race Supplement Stack for Performance

2 WEEKS OUT - Beet Powder Begin high nitrate diet. Dose : This can be comprised of: 300-600mg of nitrate, or Up to 10mg/kg or 500mL beetroot juice (3-6 whole beets), or When to take : ~30 min pre- training. Research : Studies show that high nitric oxide supplementation could improve muscle blood flow and oxygenation and, thus, exercise time trial performance. Several studies have found a correlation between nitrate-rich beetroot juice (5–9 mmol of nitrate or about 85g of beets) and five 16.1-km time-trial performances in competitive runners and cyclists [1]. 6 DAYS OUT - BETA ALANINE Begin beta alanine supplementation. Dose : Supplement with 2 capsules of Thorne Beta Alanine-SR. When to take : ~30 min pre- training. Research : Studies indicate that beta alanine supplementation can 1) increase number of reps one can do 2) increase lean body mass 3) attenuate neuromuscular fatigue 4) increase training volume [2]. 5 DAYS OUT - TART CHERRY Begin tart cherry supplementation. Dose : 2 caps When to Take : Consume 5 days pre race, on race day evening, and then for 4-5 days post race. Research : Studies show that short term supplementation of Montmorency powdered tart cherries (480mg/d for 10 days) surrounding an endurance challenge attenuated markers of muscle catabolism, reduced immune and inflammatory stress, better maintained redox balance, and increased performance in aerobically trained individuals (trained men and women triathletes) [3].
