FAQ: Can you explain how to load and use EnduraShake for an event?
Nutrition-loading before an event: ENDURASHAKE
Starting 1 to 5 days before….
(Usually 3 days before should suffice, however nutrition-load for 5 days before the event if the event is very extreme for you)
Nutrition-load as follows:
1 x scoop in 200mls water at 10h00
1 x scoop in 200mls water at 15h00
1 x scoop in 200mls water before bedtime
In other words, 3 scoops in divided doses spread over the day for 3-5 days.
We recommend the 3 scoops in divided doses, in-between your main meals (hence 10h00, 15h00 and before bedtime) so that you are able to keep eating your ‘usual’ foods that you would normally eat before an event. In this way, there are no changes to your body’s digestive routine.
So 3 scoops, 3 times per day at 10h00, 15h00 and before bed. Do this for 3-5 days before your event.
On the morning of the event: Drink 2 (TWO) scoops of EnduraShake in 400mls water, 45 minutes before the start.
Then drink 2 scoops every 3.5 hours during a long event.
Take 2 scoops at the end for recovery.
And if the event is very hard, take another 1 or 2 scoops before bed. (EnduraShake will not keep you awake)
Leading up to your event, it is recommended that drink a 750ml water bottle of EnduraPower over the day for the 3 days before to load your body with electrolytes, including magnesium bis-glycinate, Kalahari salt and others, as well as extra carbohydrates.
In addition/ alternatively, if you know that the event is going to be extreme, you can use PaceLyte a few days before to top up your electrolytes to obliterate any risk of cramping.
Remember to use EnduraShake together with its partners: EnduraShake + EnduraPower or GT Gel are designed to work together! Do your training justice by using them together. (Using EnduraShake without EnduraPower or GT Gel is like running with only one shoe!)
