Sportvoeding en verzorging voor tijdens het sporten - Trail.nl

SportNutrition During exercise, it helps keep your energy levels stable while you are active. During trail running, you continuously expend energy, especially on technical terrain and over elevation changes. With the right combination of carbohydrates and electrolytes, you prevent running out of energy and stay focused.

When do you use it?

Use sportsNutrition during any exertion longer than 60 minutes.

  • 60–90 minutes: start with small amounts of carbohydrates
  • >90 minutes: structural eating and drinking (±60–90g carbohydrates per hour)
  • Long trails/ultras: combine different forms (gels, bars, drinks)

Consistency is key: don't wait until you get hungry, but keep replenishing regularly.

What do you look for when choosing?

The right one Nutrition prevents stomach upset and energy dips during exercise. Note:

  • Carbohydrate mix: (glucose + fructose) for optimal absorption
  • Electrolytes: replenishing salt loss through sweating
  • Ease of use: easy to open and consume while walking
  • Taste & texture: Variety prevents “taste fatigue”

Train your NutritionStrategy just as serious as your mileage.

Different types of sportNutrition during sports

  • Energy gels: Fast energy, ideal for short boosts
  • Energy bars: more filling, suitable for lower intensity
  • Chews/gummies: flexible and easy to dose
  • Sports drinks: combine hydration with carbohydrates and electrolytes
  • Salt tablets: provide support in hot weather or when sweating heavily

FAQ

How much should you eat during a trail run?
The guideline is 60–90 grams of carbohydrates per hour, depending on intensity and duration.

What if you aren't hungry while walking?
Continue to take small amounts. Your body needs energy, even without feeling hungry.

Can you run on sports drinks alone?
For shorter efforts, yes, but for longer runs, combining with gels or solid food is better.
