hello all, i'm with skisuit and tony h, it's true what they say:
a mars a day helps you work rest and play!!
So imagine how much fun you have when you consume a multipack of mars bars....?
Also, a little hint my mate (sub 11s 100m sprinter with a sports science degree) gave me for avoiding rip off energy drinks: Make an orange cordial and add a tea spoon of sugar for energy and a tea spoon of salt to control it's release.
On that note, Runners world once had an article analysing the stimulation and energy factors of red bull. The outcome was that a cup of coffee w/2 sugars is 10 times cheaper but has the same level of stimulation and energy as the red bull.
To summarise, a good days skiing can be comfortably achieved by drinking a cup of coffee with 5 sugars and a mars in the morning, a mars between breakfast and lunch, a mars and a coffe for lunch, a mars between lunch and evening meal, a multipack of mars bars for evening meal (as part of a nutritious diet)and then a few beers (plenty of carbs in lager!!)
So why do I not take part in athletics anymore???
