There 3 Options for fueling during a 32km…

Option 1: EnduraPower + GT Gel + Joobies

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 – 32kms: 
Fill the little pocket bottle up to the 75ml mark.
However, if you weigh more than 90kms, then fill the little pocket bottle up closer to the lid.

Sip on GT Gel intermittently and finish pocket bottle over the remaining 22kms. Hydrate according to bodyweight. (Recommended: 8ml-10mls/kg bodyweight/hr – this may vary).

Hydration is 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.

Souties (Optional = Salty, savoury potato+protein biscuit with MCT oil). Great for stopping cramps.

Use Souties as follows:

  1. Anytime!
  2. When you’re craving a salty, savoury snack, especially after all the sweet stuff!
  3. When you feel like REAL food, but food that is sustaining.
  4. When you need a balanced mini-meal – protein, carb and fat.
  5. If you’re cramping. Contains both Kalahari and Himalayan Salts

Tip: Take a sip of water before you eat a Soutie – They are very salty!

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

DAILY TRAINING, RECOVERY AND PREPARATION:

JirehProTM is a complete protein, containing all 9 of the essential amino acids. It has a high content of BCAAs (branched chain amino acids). In addition, it boasts a high bio-availability to the body = It is has a PDCAAS of 1.0 (which is the highest score that a protein can score!)
PDCAAS stands for Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score and a score of 1.0 indicates that the protein fulfills all the essential amino acid needs, playing a critical role in the growth and repair of your body’s muscles, bones, and other tissues.

It is unflavoured and so VERY versatile: It can be can be incorporated into various foods to boost the protein content…For example, it can added to baked goods, shakes, porridge, potato bake, fruit /green smoothies, soups and as a meat substitutes.

Difference between Whey Protein and JirehPro

LeanPlex is a high protein, low kilojoule formula that will help with daily recovery – Also good if you need to drop some bodyfat before an event.
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 from intense training. High in L-glutamine (6000mg per scoop) and branched-chain amino acids (7500mg per scoop), with MCT’s (medium chain triglycerides) for energy!
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 Whey Power along with any low-protein meal.
Note:
You don’t need to get L-glutamine if you’re using our Whey Power as there is more than enough L-Glutamine per scoop in the Whey Power: There is 6000mg per 1 scoop (6 grams!).
Neither do you need to add BCAAs to your regime – there is more than enough BCAAs per scoop in the Whey Power: There is 7500mg per 1 scoop (7.5 grams!). Plus there are additional BCAAs in GT Gel and BCAAs in JirehProTM

What is the difference between LeanPlex and Whey Power?

paceandpower.co.za Collagen Peptides: If you have issues with your joints, ANY connective tissue – for example, your hips/knees/spine, then our paceandpower.co.za Collagen Peptides is the thing to use! Results for most people are significantly good!
Use our collagen as follows: 2 scoops daily will give you 9000mgs. Take anytime in the day, but be consistent. Heat stable.
Collagen Tip: Get the 1kg tub – You’re going to need to use it for at least 3 months (best results are after 3 months). 

L-Glutamine: An amino acid that helps your body recover.
Use L-Glutamine as follows:
Take one teaspoon of our pure L-Glutamine immediately after every training session – particularly important after any type of sprints.

EnduraShake can be also be taken before and after all your training sessions
1-2 scoops BEFORE for 1.5-3 hours of training = 1-2 scoops AFTERWARDS for recovery

EnduraPower: This goes in your waterbottles for training.

This is great for daily training:

  • Simply mix a 500ml-750ml bottle beforehand. (It’s best to mix it the night before and leave in the fridge – less to think about in the early morning); then before you go for your run, drink as much as you can, put the bottle back in the fridge, go for your run and then finish off what is left after your run.
  • A better option is to learn to run with a water bottle. This is important especially if you’re ultimately going to be doing longer distances: There will be times in the longer events when you need to run with a water botttle for a few kms – so getting used to this will put you in good stead for your running future.
  • EnduraPower is especially good for track sessions/ hill repeats or any high heart-rate training: Sip intermittently throughout your conditioning session.

OR:
PaceLyte: A tasteless ELECTROLYTE formula.
Use PaceLyte as follows:
If you prefer to train on electrolytes only, then use PaceLyte:: Simply add 2 teaspoons to your water bottle. PaceLyte is tasteless, and will provide you with just electrolytes, with a minuscule amount of carbohydrate.
