Fueling properly for extended training or events is crucial for peak performance! Fueling strategies will vary depending on the type of event in which you are competing. Generally speaking, you want to ensure you have adequate energy leading up to and during the event. Post-workout, you want to ensure your body has adequate fuel to replenish energy stores and repair tissue. Use the fueling strategies you are accustomed to, and simply log the additional macros.
Important: Fuel for longer endurance events should only be logged for the first hour of activity. Subsequent intake to sustain extended activity (lasting longer than 1 hour), should be consumed freely as needed, but NOT logged as extra food in your MetPro app. In this way, calories consumed during extended events or training sessions will be viewed as offset by your activity and not calculated into MetPro’s algorithm.
