Golf – What, when and how much?
To simplify things, we have divided it into 2 areas:
1. On the Day Performance
2. Daily Training and Recovery
Performance:
- EnduraShake
- EnduraPower and/or GT Gel (+Flask)
- Jooblets or Joobies
- Souties
- PaceLyte (Optional)
- Glutamine (Optional)
B. Daily Training and Recovery
- EnduraPower or PaceLyte
- L-Glutamine
- LeanPlex or Whey Power
- Collagen Peptides (Optional – only if you have dodgy joints – shoulder niggles, lower back, hips etc)
EnduraShake:
- A light, but SUSTAINING liquid race meal – for those who don’t wish to feel full in competition!
- It also eliminates any ill-timed drops in blood sugar (and therefore in concentration)
Use EnduraShake 2 ways for Golf:
- In the morning: Take 1 scoop in 200ml water or 2 scoops in 400ml water for breakfast. This is particularly good if you struggle to eat because of nervous tension!
- Lunch: Light sustaining meal. 2 scoops in 400ml water at lunch, rather than eating an over-filling meal that affects concentration.
EnduraPower: This powder goes in your water-bottle(s):
- Low GI for stable blood sugar (and thus helping with focus and concentration)
- High electrolytes to prevent dehydration and muscle cramping (contains Kalahari Salt).
- Glutamine for recovery.
Use EnduraPower as follows:
- Follow the instructions on the label in terms of the number of scoops per water per litre. (You should not water it down).
- Sip on EnduraPower throughout the day. This ensures that you are fully hydrated and that your blood sugar levels are stable throughout. A dip in blood sugar will cause a drop in focus and concentration, so it is important to keep this stable.
- Note: EnduraPower has significant levels of Kalahari Salt to prevent hyponatraemia. (Water intoxication/over-hydration).
Choose your flavour wisely: Read our recommendations on flavour choices.
GT Gel:
- An extremely high-electrolyte, sustaining energy gel, GT Gel is designed in Africa for Africa.
- Brilliant for preventing cramps!
Use GT Gel as follows:
- GT Gel may be used IN PLACE OF of EnduraPower.
- Pour GT Gel into the little decanting bottle and sip intermittently throughout the day (as you would EnduraPower – see above).
- Remember to drink water with GT Gel throughout.. Drinking water with the gel ensures easy absorption.
Note: GT Gel has significant levels of sodium to prevent hyponatraemia. (Water intoxication/over-hydration).
PaceLyte:
- A low-taste ELECTROLYTE formula
- Containing significant amounts of MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE
- Miniscule amount of carb.
Use PaceLyte as follows:
- If you tend to cramp or dehydrate, then simply add half to one teaspoon of PaceLyte to your water-bottles and sip throughout the day.
- If you’re feeling dehydrated, drink one teaspoon before you go to bed that night.
Joobies OR Jooblets: (Same thing, different sizes) One Joobie = 5-6 Jooblets
- An electrolyte chewy providing fast carbs to boost concentration!
Use Joobies or Jooblets as follows:
- Whenever you’re feeling tired and losing focus or concentration, then eat a Joobie or a small handful of Jooblets. Chase with some water or EnduraPower.
- If you’re cramping, eat a double dose, but increase your water or EnduraPower intake.
Souties: For the MUNCHIES!!
- A savoury/salty snack. (They taste like chips!).
- Pure food.
- No preservatives.
- MCTs for energy!
Use Souties as follows:
- Anytime! When you need to perform, but also need real food.
- When you’re craving a salty, savoury snack, especially after all the sweet stuff!
- When you need a balanced mini-meal – protein, carb and fat.
- If you’re cramping. Contains both Kalahari and Himalayan Salt.
Twin packs with a variety of flavours: Mixed Herbs, Basil-Pesto, Thyme, Umama, Tomato+Black Pepper; and Original. Nothing sweet about them!
L-Glutamine:
- An amino acid that helps your body recover.
Use L-Glutamine as follows:
- If you’re tired, or feeling run down, take 1 teaspoon at the end of day.
- Simply add to your EnduraPower.
B. Daily Training and RECOVERY
Daily Training: EnduraPower and/or PaceLyte
- EnduraPower: This is great for daily training: Simply mix in your waterbottle(s) as prescribed. Sip intermittently throughout your session. EnduraPower is especially good maintaining stable blood sugar.
- PaceLyte: If you prefer to train on just electrolytes (PaceLyte has only a miniscule amount of carbohydrate), then use PaceLyte instead of EnduraPower. One teaspoon of PaceLyte per 750ml/1 litre.
Daily Recovery: 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 need to drop some bodyfat.
Use LeanPlex as follows: Simply take 2 scoops mid-morning and 2 scoops mid-afternoon in 300ml water - Whey Power is JUST PROTEIN for LEAN muscle tone and RECOVERY training. High in L-glutamine (6000mg per scoop) and branched-chain amino acids (7500mg per scoop), with MCT’s for energy! Whey Power is particularly good if you are cutting back on carbs, or if you need to increase your protein.
Use Whey Power as follows: Add 1 scoop to your oats, or smoothie, or simply drink with JUST water! After training. Before bedtime. Or drink along with any low-protein meal to boost the protein content. - 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 Also good if you’re feeling run-down. - Pace & Power Collagen Peptides: If you have issues with your joints – ANY connective tissue – for example, your lower back, hips, shoulders, 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.
