Newbie with upcoming sustained cardio event
Hi all! I posted this question in another group and someone suggested posting here too.
I'm a reasonably active person, but do not consider myself an athlete. I walk, dance, and lift weights, each a few times/week.
I've been on tirzepatide for about a month and have an event coming up which will involve 3-4 hours of sustained cardio. I've done this for years, but I am concerned about my stamina with my reduced calories. I will have access to water during the event but it will be challenging logistically to have anything else.
Does anyone have advice on how to best prepare, or what to avoid?
Usually, I have a protein smoothie and a big glass of water with electrolytes for breakfast, then sip coconut water/ have a few nuts while we wait to start.
Thanks so much!
