Endurance Formula

Compare a bottle of "endurance formula" gatorade with the regular gatorade. The challenge with the full sugar stuff is you can't drink enough of it to replace water without getting a ton of sugar, which isn't helpful in most sports. The salty low sugar stuff helps with that. But if you're riding 400

How did you calculate you zones? Age based formulas are worthless, and many fitness devices start with age based. Many novice runners confuse dehydration with hunger. Are you drinking enough fluids before and during the run? Hydration during the run is quite important. Your nutrition 30-60 minutes b

The heart rate in the later miles concerns for a 3:30 goal, but I suspect doing that distance on only 60g of carbs probably played a role. I think you’re pretty behind in the fueling strategy and would start practicing that ASAP. Even on easy runs I’d take a gel before hand just to make sure your st

Gatorade powder is great for shorter rides and I use it as well, but has about half the sodium and carbs that ultra endurance athletes need. The standard powder only contains fructose, no maltodextrin. Adding extra to compensate can cause stomach issues. Gatorade does make an endurance formula that'

On a 4 hour ski I would def be doing about 60g per hour. Gatorade endurance formula is quite easy on the gut for me. On a short race I wouldnt take anything, up to 45 minutes. Unless its really easy and convenient.

You sound like you’re very similar to me. Except I’ve been running for four years. But I run between a 12 and 13 minute mile pace. I’m just getting to a point where I can complete a whole half a marathon without walking. I always felt very silly carrying and hydration vest and gels, but in my opinio

I bought Gatorade Endurance Formula Powder and then mixed Mix: 3:2, + pectin (1/2 tsp/300g) where it is 300 grams powder and 200 grams water. Another reason I picked this is because it is

Fueling with carb drink mix is absolutely an option, but I wouldn’t use straight Gatorade powder, at least not the mass-market version of Gatorade. That stuff is mostly table sugar, snd will be hard to digest at the level of carbohydrate intake you should be aiming for. The “endurance” formula Gator

I do a bottle per hour of Gatorade endurance with 3 scoops (2servings 600gsodium 45 carbs and 26g sugar) on top of that use a mix of dried mango, gummy clusters, and assortment of other candies that sit well. Better than GUs for me. And the ever best mid ride coffee for the back stretch. I have a mi

I want more electrolytes than Gatorade has I do have Gatorade endurance powder I used because I raced a half that had Gatorade endurance on course but Gatorade does a very poor job imo making the endurance formula available I also like that the “running brands” avoid crappy chemical ingredients and
