The importance of sleep for athletes

The crucial importance of sleep for athletes

In the world of sport, attention is often focused on training and nutrition, but an element just as crucial to performance and recovery is often overlooked: sleep for athletes. Quality sleep is essential for athletes of all levels, as it directly affects muscle recovery, cognitive capacity and general well-being.

1. Muscle recovery and sleep for athletes

During sleep, the body regenerates itself. It is during the deep sleep phases that muscle growth and tissue repair take place. Insufficient sleep can not only slow down this process, but also increase the risk of injury.

2. Sleep and cognitive performance

A lack of sleep can reduce concentration, mental acuity and decision-making – crucial skills for athletes. A good night’s rest helps maintain an optimal mental state for competition and training.

3. Stress and anxiety management

Sleep plays a role in mood regulation and stress management. Quality sleep can help combat anxiety and stress, often present in the competitive world of sport.

Optimize your sporting performance

Road cycling and triathlon require not only rigorous training, but also careful attention to nutrition and general well-being. That’s why we work with Beautysané to support your sporting performance and overall health.

Phycocyanine Energy Care: an ally for your endurance

Phycocyanin, extracted from spirulina, is a powerful antioxidant that can make a significant difference to your training. It is particularly beneficial for increasing VO2max – a key indicator of aerobic performance. Enriched with vitamin C, it helps reduce fatigue, a major advantage for long bike rides and intensive triathlon training.

Energy Care Phycocyanine complies with anti-doping standard EN 17444 at the date of manufacture of the batch by Sport Protect(sport-protect.org).

Chocolat Energy Plus: your quick, balanced meal

We understand that your schedule can be hectic between training, competitions, and daily obligations. Chocolat Energy Plus offers a quick and convenient solution for a balanced meal. With 23 vitamins, minerals and omega 3s, it ensures complete nutrition even when you don’t have time to cook. It’s also ideal for people who want to limit their sugar intake: with water, it contains just 2 grams!

Of course, it’s no substitute for a good home-cooked meal, but it’s a convenient alternative to fast food.

Vitamin D3: boost your immune system

Your general health is essential for maintaining a high level of performance. Vitamins D3 contain a combination of essential vitamins and minerals to boost your immune system, especially during periods of intensive training and seasonal changes.

This dietary supplement contains vitamins D3, C, A, B6, B9, B12 and zinc, which contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system. These essential micronutrients are combined with astragalus, a plant traditionally used in Chinese medicine to support the body’s immune system and defenses.

Two capsules provide 25 µg (1000 IU) of natural vitamin D3, i.e. 500% of the nutritional reference value.

Why choose these products?

These products have been specifically chosen to meet the needs of sportswomen like you. They’ll help you maintain high energy levels, recover effectively after exercise, and keep your body healthy.

How can you incorporate them into your routine?

5 essential tips for triathlon beginners

5 essential tips for triathlon beginners

Triathlon is a fascinating sport that combines swimming, cycling and running. If you’re new to this discipline, here are five key tips to help you get started on the right foot.

1. Start with basic equipment

Don’t be overwhelmed by the huge variety of equipment available. Start with the essentials: a comfortable swimsuit, a bike in good condition (not necessarily a top-of-the-range model) and a pair of suitable running shoes. As you progress, you can invest in more specific equipment.

We offer the basic equipment on our website, in the store! 

2. Establish a balanced training plan

Balance is the key in triathlon. Your training plan should integrate all three disciplines while allowing sufficient time for recovery. Consider adding muscle-strengthening and flexibility sessions to prevent injury. If possible, consult a specialized trainer for a personalized program.


The good news is that we have a network of coaches especially for you if you don’t know anyone who’s right for you.

3. Master transition techniques

Transitions between different events are often neglected by beginners. Practice switching from swimming to cycling and from cycling to running. Efficiency in these transitions can considerably improve your overall performance.

4. Nutrition and hydration

Nutrition and hydration are crucial, especially for long distances. Get to know your nutritional needs before, during and after training. A balanced diet and adequate hydration are essential to maintain your energy levels and facilitate recovery.

5. Join a community

Triathlon isn’t just an individual sport; it’s also a community. Joining a triathlon club or group can provide extra support, advice and motivation. Train with us! All our sporting events can be found in the menu under “Events”.

In conclusion

Triathlon is a physical as well as a mental challenge. Start slowly, be patient with your progress and, above all, enjoy every step of this sporting adventure. Good luck on your triathlon journey!

Getting ready for winter: Boost your health!

As winter approaches, and the days grow shorter and the cold sets in, we members of the Les Bornées community close out an intense sports season and begin preparing for the next. It’s the perfect time to reflect on how we can take care of our hard-working bodies and strengthen our health for the challenges ahead.

1. Marine collagen: an ally for your joints and skin

After a busy season, our joints deserve special attention. Marine collagen, known for its efficient assimilation, helps maintain joint suppleness and skin elasticity. It’s an invaluable aid to post-exercise recovery and preparation for winter training.

Let's go for collagen

2. Omega-3: for a strong heart and a clear mind

Omega-3s are essential for our heart and mental well-being, especially at a time when morale can be affected by lack of light. These fatty acids play a crucial role in reducing inflammation and maintaining good cardiovascular health, fundamental for endurance sports.

I opt for Omega-3

3. Minerals and multivitamins: the foundation of iron health

Winter is also the time to ensure an adequate intake of vitamins and minerals. These nutrients support our immune system, promote muscle repair and help us convert energy efficiently, preparing our bodies for the coming season.

I take minerals!

Winter is also the time to ensure an adequate intake of vitamins and minerals. These nutrients support our immune system, promote muscle repair and help us convert energy efficiently, preparing our bodies for the coming season.

As we enter this period of transition, adding marine collagen, omega-3 and multivitamins to our routine can help us stay fit, recover and prepare our bodies for future challenges. Remember, however, to consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions.

And if you’d like to try your hand at food supplements, we’ve just signed a new collaboration with a French brand specializing in nutrition. You can find all the products on the buttons or on this online store.
