JoeyK Posted June 29, 2014 Share Hi guys, I read the first 10 pages and the last 15 pages of this thread. This has been asked but I did not find the answer. If your race start early morning, what breakfast do you take if you use 32gi products? This morning I did a 75 km lsd. We were 3guys, the other two much fitter than I am. Heart rate was high but I kept with them (i know it was not te purpose of the lsd but 3:30 h alone in te saddle is a bitch). So for breakfast I chew one of the orange flavored chewable 32gi stuff. In one bottle I had 3scoops of endure. The other water. At 2h into the ride a strong headwind came up that just broke me to pieces. I finished the endure plus the other 3 chewables with 1h of riding left. All power just went out the legs the last 30 min. Total time in the saddle was around 3:30h. I understand that accellerate might have helped in the 2nd bottle. So back to origanal q: what breakfast should one eat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH8MUD Posted July 5, 2014 Share Just normal muesli type (some people make their own mixes) breakfast 1st thing when I wake up + coffee. That gives it some 45min. (trying to wake up and kitting) to settle before the ride. Attended a Jeroen Swart talk once . Same question asked. . .I think he said something like a plain white bread sandwich (2 slices) with jam 30 to 45 min prior is good. Simple, quick carbs. More could cause gastric upset for some in a race/ hard ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey_Jones Posted April 29, 2015 Share Mmm if your race day is far away enough try doing a race simulation training day and test out the product. Everyone reacts different so just give it a test and see how you feel. If you notice any major dips in energy after taking it, might not be the product for you. You don't want to find that out on a race day. Given that, this product is awesome I recommend it to everyone. So if your race day is this weekend and you don't have time to test it I'm sure it will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant TCR Adv Posted July 9, 2015 Share 32gi have changed the packaging of Trumag pills.Now it's 30 pills for the same price.you pay now R1.25 more per pill. WTF??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanD Posted July 9, 2015 Share @ Joeyk Your meal the night before is of more importance. Breakfast should be 2 to 3 hours before your riding starts. If I am at home I cook oats. This is not your issue as I see it, you rode a long ride at someone else's zone 2 pace and not yours. The effort was to hard for you and too long. This is why you bonked. When I used 32gi I would eat an oat breakfast or wholewheat pronutro and then use the 32 gi on the bike with trek whole food bars. Dischem has them. If you are on a low gi strategy you have to stay on it for your whole ride. No coke or sweets at the tables. Eggs and potatoes to avoid the sugar spike and crash. I no longer use 32gi, I have changed to a locally made product that works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
