WHAT YOU NEED ON RACE DAY

FUEL (GLUCOSE)

Timing and an athlete's unique response to fuel sources play a key role. Some elites will take in 100+g/h and maintain 180+mg/dL for entire endurance events. Grab a Glucose Training Guide to learn more.

FLUID (WATER)

To replace what you're losing in your sweat. How much you need is driven by factors including your sweat rate and the weather. Some athletes will drink as little as ~250ml/h (8oz/h), with others needing 1L/h (34oz/h) or more.

ELECTROLYTES (SODIUM)

This key electrolyte helps maintain fluid balance, blood volume and muscular function, so you need to keep on top of losses through sweating. Everyone sweats differently, with losses ranging from as little as ~200mg/l of sweat to more than 2,000mg/l.

But aren't salt and sugar bad for me?

In excess outside of exercise, yes. But you'll need to be taking in both if you want to perform at your best during endurance exercise. Here's how to find out how much you need:

STEP 1: GET A PLAN

Use The Fuel & Hydration Planner developed by our friends at Precision Fuel & Hydration to create a personalized strategy for your next race. It’ll include recommendations on how much carb, fluid and sodium you need during the race, as well as a step-by-step guide to hitting your numbers.

REAL-WORLD RESULTS.

In July age-group triathlete and Sports Scientist at PF&H, Chris Harris, raced the Swashbuckler 70.3 triathlon (1.9km swim, 90km bike and a 22.6km run) whilst wearing a Supersapiens biosensor and energy band and using the PF&H range to stay fueled and hydrated.

He has kindly allowed us to share his data so we can show you how he uses the insights from his energy management system to refine his approach to fueling…
