Weight Weenie Posted July 13, 2011 Share so just wondering - aren't you impacting negatively on your training if you use a different drink than racing ? Or is that to do with intensity ie. water for short rides and some carbs for longer rides but for racing you are going 110% so you need some more oomph ?

MJ the Expat Posted July 13, 2011 Share During training in winter I use water only. Don't drink anything in the first hour. In fact, I don't use any energy drinks during training - dunno why really. Water works for me. I will refuel afterwards. During a race Epic pro etc. Energade is crap. Next time you buy an energy sup, check the back for the carbs per 100g. A good energy drink wil have 70g/100g. Energade I think has less than 10g/100g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter1 Posted July 13, 2011 Share I have been using game for the last two weeks purely because I heard it stops you from cramping, I dont know if its true or just a placebo but I havent had a cramp since. It also helps with a hangover... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should not hang your lungs over the handle bars Tone down the intensity a bit Might work for the cramps as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quit smoking 5 weeks ago so my lungs are pretty much hanging everywhere Good for you, am off the smokes for 18 months now, its hard work and sometimes you think about it but keep up the cycling and its not too bad! Think of all the money you can spend on the bike and yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BushGoblin Posted July 14, 2011 Share Cytomax works well for me, someone suggested VITARGO ( maybe only use that for pre-workouts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
