Got Army Run on the Brain?
Maybe you have signed up already or maybe you’re still thinking about registering but feel unprepared.
Either way, Top Fuel for Top Performance can help you get ready and perform at your best!
Here is how TFTP helped these CAF members:
“Top Fuel for Top Performance was and is an excellent course for developing an understanding of nutrition factors; The classes are raw information that everyone should know as a critical baseline guide for individual health, wellbeing and performance. I have personally benefitted from re-balancing my diet to include more vegetables in particular, which I was ignoring beforehand.
I’ll likely come back around for another course in the future.”
Pte Casarez, Domenique

Craving another type of drink?
Try a mocktail! Swap a mocktail or non-alcoholic/low alcohol drink into the mix or cut out the alcohol a few nights while keeping the fun!
Mocktails or nonalcoholic drinks keep the party going and offer more choices for everyone at your get together. If your sights are set on the Army Run, it’s also important to know that alcohol can also negatively impact performance by 11.4% (O’Brien CP, Lyons F. Alcohol and the athlete. Sports Med. 2000 May;29(5):295-300. doi: 10.2165/00007256-200029050-00001. PMID: 10840864).
