Chris Simpson's advice on Nutrition and Hydration for the Wicklow 200.
As before my advice on nutrition and hydration for events such as the Wicklow are based on sports science but adjusted for what I have found works for me, the club athlete.
The following notes are a starting point from which to base your fuelling strategy, while identifying some of the key components and looking at some of the myths. As with training etc this subject area is so huge all I can provide here is a brief overview of some of the main points. Click here for the full article.......

The Leinster Sports Clinic are offering 90 Vo2 tests at the reduced rate of 90.00 Euro. To avail of this offer you must have entered the Wicklow 200, you will need your transaction confirmation number.
To contact the Leinster Sports Clinic use the link in the left hand panel.

What is a Vo2 max test?
Vo2 max testing measures how effectively the body consumes oxygen during exercise.
It is a measure of a person’s maximum ability to transport oxygen from the air, and deliver it to active muscles.
