ARE YOU DOING TRIATHLON? SO YOU KNOW...
THE 4 MISTAKES THAT OFTEN MAKE YOU FAIL (IN RUNNING)
ON THE BIKE, YOU FORGET TO EAT
INTENSITY + DIGESTION: THE BAD BALANCE
HYDRATION AND ELECTROLYTES RANDOMLY MANAGED
THE TRIATHLON NUTRITION THAT WORKS (SPRINT → IRONMAN)
Tested over thousands of kilometers
H-3 TO H-10MIN — LEAVE FULL, NOT HEAVY
- Digestible carbohydrate meal + a bit of protein
- Avoid fibers/fats if you are sensitive
- 1 gel (or a few sips of performance drink) to start
EVERY 15–30MIN — REGULARITY (WITHOUT SURCHARGE)
| Durée | Quoi manger | Timing | Produits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprint | Simple Energy | 1–2 prizes + hydration | Gel + drink |
| Olympique | Hold the intensity | Regular prices | Bars (bike) + gel (CAP) |
| Long (70.3 / IM) | Avoid debt | Small continuous takes | Energy drink + gels/compotes |
- The bike = your time to eat
- Break the gels
- Drink small and often
WINDOW 0–2H — RECOVER TO START AGAIN
- Carbohydrates + proteins
- 1 Mulebar protein bar + hydration
- Complete meal + electrolytes if it's very hot
Since July 2025, I have taken the time to test MULEBAR fruit purees and gels during cycling and triathlon outings (...). After several months of testing, I am delighted with the digestibility of the products, the flavors, and the consistent energy they provide. I will continue to use them for the preparation of several triathlons.
Before the effort
Previously, the goal is to replenish reserves without burdening digestion. An energy bar or an effort drink prepares the body and secures the start.
During effort < 3h
For sprint/olympic events, the most important thing is to keep it simple: hydration + regular intake. Biking is the best time to have a bar.
During effort > 3h
Over long distances, consistency is everything. Drink for a continuous supply of carbohydrates, gels/applesauce to supplement, and electrolytes to limit drift.
After effort (within 2 hours – metabolic window)
Afterwards, you replenish glycogen and repair. Carbohydrates + proteins + hydration: the foundation for better chaining your sessions.
Product title
The "autopilot" drink on the bike:
- Regular carbohydrate supply
- Sodium/electrolytes to limit drift
- Easy to dose according to duration
- is out of stock and will be shipped as soon as it is back in stock.
