Combine Training Talks Sports Nutrition
Registered Dietitian, Alissa Rumsey joins Combine Training to Discuss Nutrition Needs for Athletes on Race Day.
“You can have the best coach, gadgets, and training program to prepare for a race, but if your nutrition or hydration is off…none of that matters,” said Craig Vitale, owner of Combine Training in Greenwich.
The athletic coaching facility hosted Registered Dietitian and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Alissa Rumsey for a discussion on sports nutrition with a focus on helping athletes formulate their own race-day nutritional plan.
Rumsey, owner of Alissa Rumsey Nutrition and Wellness Consulting, works with a variety of athletes, including Iron Man hopefuls from Combine, helping them create a personalized plan for their specific athletic needs.
The seminar covered everything from macronutrient ratios and morning-of meals, to fluid intake during a race. Participants even learned how to gauge their sodium needs by a simple test to measure the saltiness of their sweat during training.
“It can seem overwhelming…how much to eat, when, and what,” said Rumsey, “but once you have a basic knowledge of how your body works during training, you can make nutrition modifications in order to set yourself up for success.
