Type One Outdoors

For those days putting in long stretches on the trail, my ‘Pre-Hike’ fuel is critical, and for me it’s not just about sustainable energy, but finding that sweet spot between the quick burn fuels (glucose) and the slow-burn fuels (proteins). I always bring my trail glucose in the form of energy gels which travel well in the pockets of my running shorts or vest, great for those unexpected lows out on the trail, I try to reserve those for emergency situations. 

For protein to to be most effective, I need to be well hydrated and protein should be digested about four hours before the activity, and needs to have ambient carbohydrates for uptake.

The Egg & Ramen Protein Bomb:

Soft-boiled egg (boil 5 min / ice bath 2 mins)
Cooked up a pack of ramen noodles, mixed in a little of the seasoning (not the whole pack, too salty) Threw in a handful of frozen veg.
Chopped up some pre-cooked chicken pieces (1 big handful) 

  • What’s in it?
    Ramen noodles: 52gm carbs, 8gm protein
    Egg: no carb, 8gm protein
    Chopped pre-cooked chicken pieces: 2gm carb, 12gm protein

Let's hit the trail!

A high plateau with good westerly views. A great place to see the sunset.

Time to don the headlamp and make the dusk trek back to the trailhead
