Motocross –  What, when and how much?

To simplify things, we have divided it into 2 areas:
1. Race Day Performance
2. Daily Training and Recovery

Race Day Performance:

EnduraShake:

  • A light, but SUSTAINING liquid race meal – Perfect for Motocross – especially for those who struggle to eat, then compete with a super-high heart-rate!
  • It also eliminates any ill-timed drops in blood sugar (which usually affects reaction time, focus and concentration)

Use EnduraShake 4 ways for Motocross:

  1. Nutrition/Carbo-loader:  3 days before (depending on the intensity of the event how any heats etc). 1 scoop  in 200mls water at 10h00, 15h00 and before bed.
  2. In the morning: Take 2 scoops in 400ml water for breakfast. This is particularly good to stabilise blood sugar for a few hours, and if you struggle to eat because of nervous tension! You WON’T feel full.
  3. Over the day: Light sustaining meal. 1 scoop in 200ml water intermittently throughout the day – whenever you get hungry.
  4. Recovery food: 2 scoops 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 tired muscles while sleeping)

EnduraShake should be also be taken before and after all your current long weekend training sessions.

  • For a 1.5 – 2 hour training session, take 1 scoop before in 200ml water and 1 scoop after
  • For a 3 to 4 hour training session, take 2 scoops before in 400ml water and 2 scoops after

EnduraPower: This powder goes in your water:

  • 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 racing!
  • Glutamine for recovery.

How to Use EnduraPower

  • 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 whilst waiting for your heats/final. This ensures that you are fully hydrated and fueled beforehand. And it will ensure that your blood sugar levels are stable for your final event as well as throughout the day for your various heats.
  • Note: EnduraPower  has significant levels of Kalahari Salt to prevent hyponatraemia. (Water intoxication/over-hydration).

GT Gel:

  • Extremely high-electrolyte, including magnesium glycinate
  • Sustaining blood sugars.
  • GT Gel is designed in Africa for African heat.

Use GT Gel as follows:

  • Pour GT Gel into the little decanting bottle and sip intermittently a little before your heats and final. Remember to drink some water with GT Gel as this ensures easy and rapid absorption.

  • One Joobie or 6 x Jooblets will last you ~20 minutes of high-intensity racing.
  • But don’t use Joobies/Jooblets on their own: Remember to drink EnduraPower throughout the day and to use EnduraShake as your food. In this way, you will ensure no drops in blood sugar in the middle of your event, and then the Joobies/Jooblets can do their job properly!

Use Joobies or Jooblets as follows:

  • A few minutes before your heat/final: Eat a Joobie or 6 Jooblets for the same SPRINT energy (and electrolytes)
