A drink for the effort itself

1 scoop according to the current product page.
Especially long, intense or in the heat.

Worth knowing
Do I need it for every session?
No. For short, easy sessions water is enough. Judge the need for carbohydrates and sodium by duration, intensity and temperature.More in the guide (in Polish): Woda, izotonik czy napój energetyczny: co pić podczas wysiłku
Can I make the drink stronger?
Stick to 40 g per 500 ml. A higher concentration changes the drink and more often upsets the stomach.
How much drink per hour?
A working range is 400 to 800 ml per hour. Match the amount to your sweat rate, the weather and your pace. Do not drink beyond need just to meet a table.More in the guide (in Polish): Żele, napój i jedzenie podczas wysiłku: policz węglowodany i płyny osobno
How many carbohydrates per hour of effort?
30 to 60 g per hour for efforts of 1 to 2.5 hours, 60 to 90 g for longer ones. The 90 to 120 g range needs preparation and a separate assessment. Count carbohydrates from the drink, gels and food together.More in the guide (in Polish): Żele, napój i jedzenie podczas wysiłku: policz węglowodany i płyny osobno
How do I combine the drink with gels or bars?
Add up carbohydrates from every source. 500 ml of the drink made with 40 g of powder is 35 g, a gel adds 25 g, so 60 g together. Plan fluids separately.More in the guide (in Polish): Żele, napój i jedzenie podczas wysiłku: policz węglowodany i płyny osobno
What is gut training?
Testing step by step in training how much drink and how many carbohydrates you tolerate. Do not start with the largest serving and do not try a plan for the first time on race day.More in the guide (in Polish): Trening jelita: jak sprawdzić napój, żele i smak przed zawodami
Can the drink cause stomach problems?
Yes. It usually comes down to the serving, the concentration or your own tolerance. Prepare it to the stated ratio and test it in training. Do not treat recurring complaints as normal.More in the guide (in Polish): Trening jelita: jak sprawdzić napój, żele i smak przed zawodami
What about long races?
Plan fluids and carbohydrates from all products together. Test the strategy in training first.
