How to fuel your training days

Designed for high-intensity mountain training days — sustained energy and fast recovery

High carb Easy to digest Anti-inflammatory On-trail fuel

A three-phase eating rhythm for a 4–6 hour mountain training day. Morning carb loading → on-trail liquid fuelling → post-effort recovery window. Each phase keeps your energy locked in from first climb to last descent.

🌅 Launch Meal

1.5–2 hours before training
  • Thai sticky rice, 1.5 cups (~300g)
  • 2 soft-boiled eggs
  • 1 banana
  • 300ml coconut water (natural electrolytes)

Low fibre, low fat — keeps your stomach calm on technical terrain

⛰️ On-Trail Fuel

During training (every 45–60 min)
  • Date energy balls, 2–3 pieces (glutinous rice + dates + pinch of salt)
  • Sports drink / coconut water alternating
  • Half a banana or dried mango

Eat solids on gentle uphills only — liquid-only on technical descents

🍚 Recovery Meal

Within 30 minutes of finishing
  • Thai fried brown rice + 150g stir-fried chicken breast
  • Stir-fried greens (spinach or broccoli)
  • 200ml turmeric milk (anti-inflammatory)
  • 100g fresh pineapple (bromelain aids digestion)

~3:1 carb-to-protein ratio — rapid glycogen reload without slowing digestion

💡

All ingredients are available at Chiang Mai night markets or supermarkets for 60–80 THB per meal. Camp will provide a daily recommended local restaurant list.
