You'd probably never notice because of all the mud
treat them both like endurance races and consume real (ish ) food before during and after them.......(During)!!!
I've had some real nice all natural cookies in the past when out running which easily fit into my shorts pocket that I can use. Plus with the Para's 10 race I'll have a few pockets on the Bergen which I can put food into & get myself a camel back to go into the top of it & drink through the water tube that runs off it.
have wee looked at glycerol loading to hold water in like BBers do.....something for the future if not
Done that before & there is a specific term for it but can't remember
2 races of this type together is a lot different too 2 marathons etc
The obstacles & added weight of the Bergen are really going to take it out of me but if I manage these two back to back then a marathon by the end of the year should be easily doable.
i would look at a creatine load as soon as you finish the first race then loads of water and carbs in
Good idea. I can start the Creatine load (5 days in total) 3 days before the first race. Keep loading on that day plus day of second race. With the final load the day after the second race to help with recovery.
plenty of BCAAs as well
Easy to use just before & right after each race. Easy enough to have a separate bottle with a BCAA mix in the Bergen to drink during the second race to help ward off fatigue.
And a guy at work has just given me a Bergen for free
