And I d try to get that all in during the first 30 minutes to an hour. Ski touring involves 7,000 to 10,000 feet of climbing a day, a lot of trailbreaking, cold weather, and eight to ten hours of hiking. I also do a lot of tea, heavily sweetened with Gatorade. That way, you get your caffeine and your electrolytes. Good amount of sugar and protein, which is what you need, and it tastes good.
Some people have a hard time eating after running.
Your body is starving for sugar, and you want something your body can use really fast. Then, within the hour, I tend to have a large meal. My favorite is a really simple pasta with olive oil, crushed red pepper, garlic salt, and a little Parmesan cheese. Mariah Media Inc. All rights reserved.
