We recommend the following for Enduro Riding:
A. Race Performance/Long Weekend Rides

Summary:
EnduraShake:
Nutrition/Carboloader: 3 days before:
1 scoop EnduraShake in 200mls water at 10h00, 15h00 and before bed. (Continue eating your normal meals)
Before the Start (of Each Day): 2 scoops EnduraShake in 400ml water, 45 minutes before the start.
EVERY ~3.5 hours or EVERY DSP: 2 scoops EnduraShake in 400ml water.
Recovery food after: 2 scoops EnduraShake in 400ml afterwards, and 2 scoops again before bed.
HYDRATION:
Because of the intense nature of Enduro Riding, together with the extremely high-kilojoule consumption, we recommend that you use EnduraPower together with GT Gel while you are riding.

(EnduraPower is mixed into your hydration pack; whilst GT Gel is decanted into a tiny, pocket-sized bottle, which you sip intermittently).

EnduraPower (high electrolytes, blend of stable carbs).
This powder goes in your hydration pack: 6 scoops in a 3 litre hydration pack.
We recommend 2 flavours for Enduros: Neutral Quench and Lemon-Aid. Choose your flavours wisely – be flavour smart!
Neutral Quench tastes like water. It has a smidgen of caffeine, equivalent to a cup of tea)
Lemon-Aid is a VERY light flavour. (NO caffeine).
Both have no colourants. You can mix it up with Tangerine or Berry flavours, but keep to 6 scoops for 3 litres.
Hydrate with EnduraPower according to bodyweight: For enduro riding, this has been highly recommended: Bodyweight x 10ml or 11ml /hr. (Although, this may vary according to personal preference).
For example, if you weigh 90kgs, then you should drink 900ml -1 litre per hour. Your 3 litre hydration pack should last you ~3.5 hours.
GT Gel (high electrolytes, blend of stable carbs, BCAAs).
GT Gel is formidable with preventing cramps and maintaining performance with a high heart-rate, when racing in extreme heat. It is used along with the EnduraPower, like so:
Fill the little decanting bottle (aka the 2-stroke bottle) with GT Gel and take a sip intermittently throughout the ride/event whenever you have a gap: For instance, whenever there is a bottle-neck, or you’re picking your lines, or you’re waiting for another rider, then take a sip. Remember to use the GT Gel in addition to drinking the EnduraPower which is in your hydration pack (at the rate prescribed above).
GT Gel is low flavour, with a soft texture, so very easy to swallow.
When used in conjunction with EnduraPower, one filled little decanting bottle filled with GT Gel (110mls) should last you ~ 4-7 hours of riding, depending on the intensity. (Remember that GT Gel is used in addition to EnduraPower in your hydration pack and remember to always hydrate as prescribed above.).
PaceLyte = High electrolytes. Optional, but really good if you’re a chronic cramper! Simply add 1-2 teaspoons of PaceLyte to the EnduraPower in your 3 litre hydration pack.
Many riders like to take 1 teaspoon, the night before a hard ride/event. You can also drink 1 teaspoon early in the morning before the start; or add a spoon to your tripper.
Note: The tiny amount of carb (2.5g) is D-Ribose! This is the carb that fuels the mitochondria – the ATP cycle/EXPLOSIVE power of the muscles… so helpful when having to lift your bike! (Hopefully that’s not too often!)
PaceLyte is also super if you wish to replace lost electrolytes after a hectic ride/event – Add one teaspoon to a glass of chilled water and drink afterwards.
PaceLyte has NO flavour, no colourants. Absolutely refreshing and thirst-quenching!

Note: EnduraPower, GT Gel and PaceLyte are designed for racing in heat!
The sodium and electrolyte content of all 3 formulas, as well as in the Souties (see below) significantly reduces risk of hyponatremia. (aka over-hydration)
Joobies: For extra fast ROCKET ENERGY with ELECTROLYTES, munch on a Joobie as needed. Joobies stop cramps FAST. Great for sprints…Fantastic for hills… and… perfect for sulking! Can you use Joobies on their own for Enduros? Not if you want great performance! Read more here.
Souties: For REAL food – a welcome SALTY savoury snack, munch on a Soutie… ANYTIME during the event/ride. Slow, sustaining energy with MCT’s (medium chain triglycerides) for prolonged performance, cassava root and oats for slow, steady carbs. Souties contain Kalahari Salt and Himalayan Salt – Rich in trace minerals.
Recovery food after: 2 scoops EnduraShake in 400ml afterwards, and 2 scoops again before bed. EnduraShake has no stimulants or artificial colours. It will not keep you awake at night. (Safe for kids and the elderly too!)
FAQ:
Q: Can I use ONLY Joobies/Jooblets for a long event such as Enduro riding?
B. Daily Training and RECOVERY

EnduraPower or PaceLyte
L-Glutamine
LeanPlex or Whey Power
Collagen Peptides (Optional – only if you have dodgy joints/knees etc)

How to use for daily training and recovery:

EnduraPower: Use during your high-intensity sessions or supportive training fitness training.
PaceLyte: If you prefer ONLY electrolytes for your daily fitness training, then use PaceLyte instead of EnduraPower.

Daily Recovery: OPTIONS – LeanPlex, Whey Power, L-Glutamine and Collagen Peptides

LeanPlex is a high protein, low kilojoule formula that will help with daily recovery – Also good if you want to drop some bodyfat before the event.
Use LeanPlex as follows: Simply take 2 scoops mid-morning and another 2 scoops mid-afternoon in 300ml water
Whey Power is HIGH PROTEIN only for LEAN muscle tone and RECOVERY from intense training. High in L-glutamine (6000mg per scoop) and branched-chain amino acids (7500mg per scoop), with MCT’s for energy! Note you don’t need to take L-glutamine if you are using Whey Power: there is more than enough glutamine already in Whey Power (6000mg)
Use Whey Power as follows: Add 1 scoop to your oats or smoothie, or simply drink with JUST water!
Pace & Power Glutamine: An amino acid for muscle repair and recovery.
Use our glutamine as follows: Take one teaspoon of our pure L-Glutamine immediately after training and/or before bed.
Pace & Power Collagen Peptides: If you have issues with your joints – ANY connective tissue, for example, your knees/lower back, then our Pace & Power collagen is the thing to use! Results for most athletes are significantly good!
Use our collagen as follows: 2 scoops daily. Anytime.
