    • Should I eat gluten-free?
    • What works for me before during and after training?
    • How do I stop cramps?
    • How much salt do I need?

The goal of http://team.firstendurance.com is to have 100% of our members finish Ironman with no cramps, no bonk, and no gastric distress. This new website delivers an innovative approach to perfect Ironman nutrition by offering various nutritional programs that require member participation. Each program is based on an evidenced based nutritional theories where results can vary by individual.
