Nutritionist / Sports Trainer / Athelete advice needed?

Question

I am going for sprinting soon and would like to know if the following food will help for race day.

For a week prior to race day I am gonna drink a blend of Vitamins & Minerals which is 100% or more of daily required value. It is a fruit juice so don't worry there are no side effects.

3 days prior to race day I am going to include every night a water-based full dosage blend of B Vitamins - consisting of B1,2,3,5,6,12,15 . This will help with sleep, stress and boost enrgy levels.

On race day, about 3-5 hours before event, I plan to have bread and cheese slices(those finely cut and packed square slices, not real cheese to me) for breakfast + a normal breakfast drink (cocoa or cereal drink).

1 hour before event I plan to have a slice of bread + cereal bar to increase my carbs. also water to stay hydrated.

30mins before event I plan to take 8 to 16fl oz of a bottle of mix: B vitamins + Vitamin C effervescent + Glucose. - Is it allright to mix them all up?

Continue below..

Also, I am thinking of how to add caffeine into about 30mins to 1 hour before race.

Do I drink coffee, or other energy drinks such as Red-Bull or Coke? And also due to its dueretic effects/ other effects will it affect my mix of Vit B + C + Glucose?

Please give your suggestions.
I hope somebody well experienced can help me with all the above. Thanks!

I am going for two events on the same day, probably within 2hours.

Is it true that taking high sugar level will help the muscles but slow you down? I certainly wouldn't want that to happen, any substitues that will replace all the lost electrolytes, carbs, etc.. that will help the muscles fatigue and also with speed?

Answer 1

That sounds like a pretty complicated program for just one race. What level of competition are you in? I am not a nutritionist, but with one exception it doesn't appear to be anything that will do you any harm. The one exception is right before the race where you are considering a mix of Red Bull & Coca-Cola. I don't think I would suggest this, because it will ramp you up with the caffeine, but then you would crash just as fast.

Best of luck!!
