Pre-recovery - Heiss talks about pre-recovery , that is preventative recovery. Many athletes separate the "during" nutrition with "recovery" nutrition. Heiss maintains that you should start the recovery process with what you consume during exercise.

He recommends that a large carbohydrate meal should be 48 hours before the event, a normal meal the night before, not too heavy. Then options for a pre-race meal including Formula 1 Sport.
