Most people blame their cardio when they gas in their training…
It’s rarely the cardio…
It’s the fuel…
Here’s how to fix it:
Eat carbs before every session. No exceptions.
Carbs are your primary fuel during high intensity training.
When they run out your body has nothing left. That’s the final round feeling. Not fitness failure.
Rice, oats, banana, dates, toast. 60-90 minutes before every session. Every time.
Match your pre training meal to the size of the session
A banana before two hours of hard training is not enough.
Big session. Proper meal. The size of what you eat before training should reflect the demand of what you’re about to do.
Build your fuel across the whole day
Your energy in the final round is not just about what you ate before training.
It’s built across everything you ate in the 6 hours leading up to it.
Skipped breakfast. Light lunch. You’re already empty before you arrive.
Sort your hydration before you get to the gym
Dehydration drops your endurance significantly. Even at 2%.
Drink water consistently through the day and add a small pinch of salt in the water. Not just when you get to training.
Use electrolytes during hard sessions
Plain water doesn’t replace what you lose when you sweat hard.
Sodium, potassium and magnesium keep your muscles firing deep into a session.
Electrolyte sachets during training. Not energy drinks.
Recover properly after every session
What you eat after training determines how you perform in the next one.
Consistently poor recovery means you start every session already depleted.
The final round gets easier when your fuel is right from the moment you wake up.
Not just from the moment you arrive at the gym.
