A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to host a Facebook Live event on the OCR Strong Facebook page, where I spent about an hour discussing food and fluid strategies for OCR athletes.

During the live session, I answered questions and covered pre-race and post-race strategies as well as how to fuel during your race.

If you don’t have time to sit and watch the entire replay, here are some key points to look for:

8:35 – Hydration

12:52 – Food and fluid intake for training and competition

39:50 – Post-race nutrition

46:45 – Fuel options during a race
