Competition Nutrition Practices of Elite Ultra-Marathon Runners. Due to anecdotes, the Ultralauer has been suspected of increasing carbohydrates with increasing number of runs in training as in the competition with the intention of increasing fat burning and thus improving performance. In order to investigate this, the nutritional behavior of 3 world-class ultra skiers was examined before and during ultra-curls.These 3 runners punished in 2014 totally 16 competitions, gained 8 runs, including the ‘Western States Endurance Run’. Before a run, in average, they took 70 ± 16 g of carbohydrates, 29 ± 20 g protein and 21 ± 8 g of fat.During a 100-mile run, they entered 1162 ± 250 g of carbohydrates, corresponding to 71 ± 20 g / h.This corresponded to a total supply of 5530 ± 1673 calories (333 ± 105 calories / h). In addition, they accepted 912 ± 322mg caffeine and 6.9 ± 2.4G sodium.
93 ± 12% of commercial products consisted of the total energy supply. All details about this work can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26061831/
