Bonking hard after 5k workouts. Thrifty nutrition tips?
Former Member
Hi SwimFans!
I'm having a bit of a problem with 'bonking' the crash after swimming a 5k workout or more. I'm a morning swimmer and have never swam on a full tummy, I also get up just barely with enough time to make it to the pool when it opens at 6. While working out I sip homemade Faker-aide and snarf down a protein bar and a banana afterwards with a cup of coffee (this is breakfast). I try to eat a carb rich dinner the night before, but I don't really think this helps.
I budget $10.00/day for food so nutrition needs to be cheap.
Suggestions? Recipes?
Has anyone suggested oatmeal/porridge? For convenience, I use these www.target.com/.../A-14528755. When I make my own I like oatmeal, banana, blueberry, honey mush. I find it very easy to digest either before or during a swim.
