Spartan Race Athlete - Hannibal Smith- shares in this Q&A his nutrition plan and how he uses supplements to improve performance.
Do you have a health condition or allergy (ex: gluten intolerance) that requires you to have a special nutrition plan?
I do not have any allergies that hamper my nutritional outline for inside and outside of competition.
Do you follow a specific diet (ex: vegetarian, paleolithic etc…). If so, describe it and explain how is it benefiting you?
I follow a Paleolithic nutritional plan! I have tried a lot of different avenues to really achieve that optimal performance in day to day life and during

What’s your pre-workout/competition nutrition and hydration plan?
My pre-workout/competition nutrition and hydration
What’s your during workout/competition nutrition and hydration plan?

What’s your post-workout/competition nutrition and hydration plan?
After each race, I focus on recovery and hydration, so I can limit the recovery time and start working towards that next goal. This is when I double the serving size of Proven Nutrition Heal, and I really feel the effects immediately. As an athlete, you need to find things that are sustainable, before, during, and after the race, many changes are the result of one thing, consistency!
Do you compete in different types of events (ex: different distances or formats)? If so, is your nutrition/hydration plan different for each event?
I only compete in Spartan Races.
Any other nutrition/hydration secrets you’d like to share?
Staying focused on whole foods is the foundation for recovery and growth. The cleaner your system and gut health the faster your recovery into that next workout, or competition. It's important that the days leading up to competition are filled with water, and that the water is supplemented with a nutritional tool for lasting hydration, amino acids, and recovery tools; and that’s the void Proven Nutrition fills.
