Supplementing Smart
While food should come first, some supplements can help endurance athletes perform at their peak.
Top Supplements:
– Creatine – helps with short bursts of effort
– Beta-Alanine – buffers muscle acid buildup
– Electrolyte tabs – replace sodium, potassium, magnesium
– Omega-3s – fight inflammation
– Adaptogens like Rhodiola – support stress and recovery
Always check for third-party testing for safety.
