Fernando Alonso talks about traveling and hosting an F1 race in 2024, while delving deeper into hiring a winter nutritionist.
Aston Martin’s Alonso did something interesting over the winter, hiring a nutritionist and changing his diet and training regime in an attempt to not only survive the tough and long season, but also extend his future F1 career.
Given his age and the demands of the sport, Alonso had to make special efforts to stay healthy and complete the program. And even though he changed his diet to be more plant-based, he was surprised by the results in the winter.
“Usually we do the same tests,” Arosno told the media. “The first part will take place in the mountains of the Italian Alps. We will examine my body’s aerobic performance at 1 mile, 2 miles and 5 miles, at rest, 1001 fat or muscle tests, against light. We have historical data on reactions, peak performance in the gym using weights.
“Several tests over the last five or six years have shown that after the age of 30 or 35, there is minimal decline in performance, especially in the muscular area, as we gradually lose muscle.” Again. The maximum value is reached. This is partly due to changes in eating habits.
“We tried to build up a little muscle to compensate for the age factor without sacrificing aerobic training responsiveness or endurance. “These are amazing results, I think it’s a very positive thing,” Alonso summed up, before going on to elaborate on the dietary changes he made in consultation with a nutritionist.
“The way I look at things and prepare my body has changed a little bit,” Alonso continued. “There’s a lot that they know in terms of a better explanation that they’re probably on a plant-based diet.” It might not be completely exact, but this way it’s a little bit more But what I’m trying to understand is that you can get more energy from what you eat, and you can also pull a little more of the stored energy in your body and get more endurance from it. ”
Alonso’s move to embrace a plant-based diet is interesting given his less-than-kind reaction when Lewis Hamilton talked about vegan food. The Spaniard has been quietly working on his training and plans to travel more efficiently this year as well, keeping an eye on his food intake.
“Last year, the season ended earlier than usual, so I had more time to train, but I was able to train more calmly. But winter gave me a lot more time than before,” Alonso said. “There was always something to do in the winter, we had promotional events, we changed teams, we had to do something in the factory.
“This time I had some personal time to drive other cars, which helped me go into preseason in the best shape of my life.” We travel more efficiently and I think you need to spend the right amount of time and the right amount of time. place. I think we’re all different, but for me, on this calendar, I’m going to try to improve my time a little bit in the long races in this city, at this circuit.
“So, to all of you in Japan, Australia, and China, I’m going to fight jet lag in a different way. I’m going to try not to travel to this country too early, so I can spend more and more days away from home. It increases.’ And they drain the battery all season long,” Alonso summed up.
