Yet one of the most powerful recovery tools is also one of the most basic: sleep. Getting enough high-quality sleep is a cornerstone of recovery and performance for many elite athletes. LeBron James is reported to sleep around 8–10 hours per night, while Erling Haaland reportedly gets approximately 11 hours across the day, including...]]></description><link>https://www.theelitenutrition.com/post/sleep-for-athletes-how-much-do-you-need-and-how-can-you-improve-it</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a681e23388acffd1e3d7c89</guid><pubDate>Thu, 30 Jul 2026 04:13:31 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/38b27c_4af3890d196546359a01f7fc8acf8631~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Sonia Sohi</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gastrointestinal Issues During Endurance Exercise: Causes and How to Train Your Gut]]></title><description><![CDATA[Stomach and bowel problems can disrupt even the most carefully planned endurance event. An athlete may know how much carbohydrate they need but still struggle with bloating, nausea, reflux, cramps or an urgent need to use the toilet during training and competition. In more severe cases, gastrointestinal symptoms can make it difficult to continue exercising or consume enough fuel and fluid. These issues are common. Research generally suggests that approximately 30–50% of athletes experience...]]></description><link>https://www.theelitenutrition.com/post/gastrointestinal-issues-during-endurance-exercise-causes-and-how-to-train-your-gut</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a62f6d259dc3f2805c4ae86</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 Jul 2026 05:24:09 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f9f492f6f0da4e89bc39c0ebb058862a.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Sonia Sohi</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[How Much Carbohydrate Do Endurance Athletes Need During Exercise?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Endurance athletes are often told to consume more carbohydrate, but the right amount depends on the session. A short recovery run does not require the same fuelling strategy as a long ride, marathon or Ironman. The goal is not simply to consume as much carbohydrate as possible, but to match intake to the duration, intensity and demands of the session. Why do carbohydrates matter for endurance performance? Carbohydrates are an important source of energy during moderate- and high-intensity...]]></description><link>https://www.theelitenutrition.com/post/carbohydrates-gut-issues-and-gut-training-a-practical-guide-to-fuelling-endurance-exercise</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5d809c769cc21e56f22341</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Jul 2026 01:57:57 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c2e018791e41494788afbd92e83bdd4b.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Sonia Sohi</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Travel Often? How to Stay on Track With Your Nutrition During Work Travel]]></title><description><![CDATA[Work trips can make it difficult to maintain your usual nutrition, training and recovery routines. Between buffet breakfasts, networking dinners, free-flow food and drinks, irregular schedules and long periods of sitting, it is easy for healthy habits to take a back seat. One common approach is to “save calories” throughout the day in preparation for a large dinner or work event. This may work for some people. For others, however, it can lead to arriving overly hungry, eating far more than...]]></description><link>https://www.theelitenutrition.com/post/travel-often-how-to-stay-on-track-with-your-nutrition-during-work-travel</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5d7c25a93b53fe8896f2c5</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Jul 2026 01:47:13 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9efd9b1d83eb443bb0a4b085d92140a9.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Sonia Sohi</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
