Option 1: EnduraPower + GT Gel + Joobie /Jooblets
Nutrition/Carboloader: 3-4 days before:
1 scoop EnduraShake in 200mls water at 10h00, 15h00 and before bed. (Continue eating your normal meals).
You can also drink a botttle of EnduraPower over the day (s) before, or add a teaspooon of PaceLyte to your water, if you prefer electrolytes only.
When you wake up, drink a small serving of EnduraPower : Mix ~300-600mls.
Then 45 minutes before the start: 2 scoops EnduraShake in 400ml water.
First 10kms: Mix 500-750mls EnduraPower (1 scoop for a person weighing close to ~50kgs; 1.5 scoops for a person weighing close to ~75kgs; 2 scoops for ~100kgs+). Mix in a bottle that you’re happy to toss.
From 10kms – 30kms: Fill the little gel decanting bottle up to the 75ml mark. Sip on GT Gel intermittently and finish the decanting bottle over the next 20kms. Hydrate according to bodyweight. (Recommended: 8ml-10mls/kg bodyweight/hr – this may vary). Important as GT Gel contains significant sodium and magnesium bis glycinate.
Halfway: ~30kms: 2 scoops EnduraShake in 400ml water.
30-40kms: Mix 500-750mls EnduraPower (1 scoop for a person weighing close to ~50kgs; 1.5 scoops for a person weighing close to ~75kgs; 2 scoops for ~100kgs+). Mix in a bottle that you’re happy to toss.
From 40kms – 60kms: Fill the little gel decanting bottle up to the 75ml mark. Sip on GT Gel intermittently and finish the decanting bottle over the remaining 20kms. Hydrate according to bodyweight. (Recommended: 8ml-10mls/kg bodyweight/hr – this may vary). Important as GT Gel contains significant sodium and magnesium bis glycinate.
Throughout the event, for extra energy and/or electrolytes, munch on a Joobie as needed.
Throughout the event, especially in the second half, for real food that is salty and savoury, eat a Soutie (or two).

After 60kms, take GOOD CARE especially if you’re going on to do The Comrades:
2 scoops EnduraShake in 400mls water soon afterwards. If possible, take another 1 (possibly 2) scoops before going to sleep. (EnduraShake won’t keep you awake, but it will help feed tired muscles while sleeping).
Take one teaspoon of PaceLyte in 500-750mls water anytime between finishing the 60km and going to sleep. Continue with one teaspoon per day for a few days afterwards. Great before sleep!
De-briefing: For long running events such as a this 60km, continue taking EnduraShake for a few days afterwards to support the immune system and help with recovery.
