Race day
From breakfast to the finish line, in Julien’s own words.
Des tartines au beurre de peanut, avec une banane et un gel 15 min avant début de course.
XACT.
Burger.
Off the clock
Julien’s best advice
Pendant une course manger un gel / barre aux 30/45 minutes. Energy is your fuel!
Guilty pleasure
Coca-cola, M&Ms
Post-race meal
Un bon burger avec une bière fraîche
Always in the fridge
Des oeufs, du poulet, du yaourt protéiné
Race-day ritual
3 fois aux toilettes
Hype song
It's my life - Bon Jovi
Outside of sport
Musique, voyages mon mantra
WHEN IT TASTES GOOD, IT’S GOOD.*
