When discussing race day nutrition it is important to understand the energy requirements. The average athlete expends approximately 100 calories per mile during a marathon. During a triathlon, the athlete expends approximately 500 to 1000 calories on the swim, 3,000 to 4,000 calories on the bike, and 2,500 to 3,000 calories on the run. Wow! That is some serious energy expenditure.
An athlete would need to add to this total all the additional calories expended from workouts. For example, a 160-lb. individual running at 8 mph would burn 986 calories in an hour. This amount needs to be matched in the diet.The body also requires 500 calories a day just to add muscles.hysical exertion requires a large amount of energy, which means that athletes need to consume more calories than the average person. The fundamental purpose of an athlete's diet does not consider weight loss, so athletes must consume as many calories as they burn.
