Obstacle Course Races (Spartan/Warrior/Hyrox)

To simplify things, we have divided it into 2 areas:

  1. Day of the Event:
  2. Daily Training and Recovery

Day of the Event: Use the following:

B.  DAILY Training and Recovery

Summary of how to use the formulas for an event:

EnduraShake

  • A light, but SUSTAINING liquid race meal – Perfect for high intensity, high heart-rate and anaerobic racing – especially good for those athletes who struggle to eat, then compete.
  • It also eliminates any ill-timed drops in blood sugar during a day of heats.

Use EnduraShake 4 ways:

  1. Nutrition/Carbo-loader: 1-3 days before (depending on the intensity of the event, how any heats over the day; if the athlete is lean/low on natural reserves etc). 1 scoop of EnduraShake in 200mls water at 10h00, 15h00 and before bed.
  2. In the morning of the event: Take 1-2 scoops of EnduraShake in 200ml-400ml water as your breakfast – No need to eat anything else for several hours. Perfect if you struggle to eat because of nervous tension! You WON’T feel full. (Take 1 scoop if you’re very tiny).
  3. Over the day: Light sustaining meal. You can take 1-2 scoops of EnduraShake over the day, as and when you feel hungry. (1-2 scoops in 200ml-400ml water) Some athletes prefer to take 1 scoop in 200ml water more often throughout the day – others prefer 2 scoops less often and be done with it.
  4. Recovery food: 1-2 scoops of EnduraShake afterwards to maximise fast recovery, especially if you’re competing again the next day. In addition, if you are very tired, take another 1 scoop before you go to sleep. (EnduraShake won’t keep you awake, but it will help feed and recover exhausted muscles while sleeping)

EnduraPower: This powder goes in your water-bottle(s):

  • Low GI for stable blood sugar (thus helping with focus and concentration)
  • High electrolytes to prevent dehydration and muscle cramping (contains Kalahari Salt).
  • Malic acid for high intensity events!
  • Glutamine for recovery.

How to use EnduraPower:

  • Follow the instructions on the label in terms of the number of scoops per water per litre.
  • Sip on EnduraPower before and after each heat and intermittently throughout the day. This ensures that you are fully hydrated and fueled for each event. EnduraPower will ensure that your blood sugar levels are stable.
  • HOURLY Dosage of EnduraPower as follows:
    1 scoop for a person weighing close to ~50kgs;
    1.5 scoops for a person weighing close to ~75kgs;
    2 scoops for ~100kgs+).

GT Gel: This may be used IN PLACE OF of the EnduraPower.

  • Extremely high-electrolyte.
  • Sustaining blood sugar.
  • GT Gel is designed in Africa for African heat.
  • Brilliant for preventing cramps!
  • Convenient to carry and use. Swig and chase with some water!

Use GT Gel as follows:

  • Pour GT Gel into the little decanting bottle and sip intermittently throughout the day. Follow with a few mouthfuls of water. (Drinking water with the gel ensures easy and rapid absorption of the gel).

Note: Both EnduraPower and GT Gel have significant levels of sodium to prevent hyponatraemia. (Water intoxication/over-hydration).
Hydrate according to bodyweight. (Recommended: 8ml-10mls/kg bodyweight/hr – this may vary according to personal preference.

You can switch between EnduraPower and GT Gel for 30 minutes to 1 hour of the event at any point – they are compatible! With EnduraPower you would need to be able to carry a waterbottle during that time, or compete with a hydration pack.

Joobies for a magnificent boost!
Munch on a Joobie or Jooblets (about 5-6) whenever you need a boost. Eat a Joobie 20-30 minutes from the end of the event for a strong, fast finish!

Souties: When your body begs for real food…. something salty and savoury! Then Souties are for you… A welcome change from sweet…Souties are a completely balanced mini-meal, providing you with protein (vegan), carbs (Cassava Root and oats) and fat (MCTs). Packed in two’s to share!
Twin-packs for convenience. Munch ANY time. Stable blood sugar!

Recovery food after: 2 scoops EnduraShake in 400ml afterwards, and 1 scoop again before bed.
