Nutrition partner of the Alpe d’Huez Triathlon since 2017, Overstim.s will offer a new service this year: a stand dedicated to recovery at the finish line. It will be an opportunity to discover this sometimes little-known range of products and understand how to regenerate after exercise.
While it may seem natural for any sportsperson to concentrate on their nutritional preparation and refueling during a competition, the recovery phase is often overlooked. Once you’ve crossed the finish line, however, you need to take care with your intake from the first few hours after exercise: this is known as the metabolic window, the period during which recovery is optimal after physical activity. The calorie expenditure involved in a triathlon is such that it is essential to replenish the body’s fuel reserves after intense effort.
A duo of recovery products proposed by Overstim.s
To help you through this recovery phase, Overstim.s will set up an innovative stand at the finish line of the Alpe d’Huez Triathlon 2024. Thanks to the Breton brand’s expertise and the diversity of its ranges, you will discover several post-exercise products:
A protein bar, a real technical treat, both chewy and rich in BCAAs and protein: a relevant combo for recharging batteries and enjoying a great snack.
An Elite recovery drink that provides a complete energy boost thanks to its many nutrients. It can be consumed with water or milk (animal or vegetable).
The brand’s team will be on hand to present the range and explain its benefits and uses. It’s the ideal way to find out more and ask all your questions to professionals in the field of sports nutrition!
Good recovery starts before the finish line
Of course, recovery will also depend on your preparation, both from a nutritional and physical point of view. It’s also worth noting that recovery products are beneficial after training, as they help to regenerate the body, so that you’re in a better condition to continue your sessions. By eating a balanced diet and getting enough nutrients before the race, as well as training for the event, you can limit pains and post-workout fatigue.
