If you choose to supplement with nitric oxide before your race, make sure you start 2 weeks before race day!
Why nitric oxide?
Nitric oxide actually causes your body’s blood vessels to dilate, so more blood is delivered to the rest of your body including all of the nutrients and oxygen that your blood carries. As a result, you may experience better oxygenation to your muscles. Studies have shown that this can improve an athlete’s exercise time trial performance.
Research shows that there is a correlation between nitrate-rich beetroot juice and improved athletic performance when individuals supplement up to 15 days before their event. However, acute supplementation seemed to show less consistent effects on performance.
