Written by Tavishi Dogra | Updated : October 29, 2024 7:51 AM IST Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) pushes athletes to their physical limits, combining running with physically demanding obstacles. Success in these events requires peak fitness and a strategic approach to nutrition. A well-planned nutrition strategy maximises performance, promotes recovery, and maintains long-term health. From energy management to muscle repair, proper fueling helps OCR athletes excel. Recovery is a vital component of an OCR athlete's journey. Proper post-race nutrition aids in muscle repair and restores depleted energy reserves. Within 60 minutes of finishing a race, athletes should eat a recovery meal rich in protein and carbohydrates, such as a protein smoothie with fruit or a meal featuring lean proteins and complex carbs . This combination helps replenish glycogen and jump-start muscle recovery. Hydration after a race is equally essential for replacing lost electrolytes. Coconut water or electrolyte-infused drinks are excellent options for post-race hydration. More News Don’t Miss Out on the Latest Updates. Subscribe to Our Newsletter Today!
