Half coke/half water

[Lucky Luke.]

That makes sense, fortified drinks make lots more sense than eating 26 hamburgers!

 

There is still however a BIG question hanging over the head of Glutamine and Creatine in endurance sport.

 

I'm not convinced about creatine - unless you are a trackie and you're less concerned about power to weight and more interested in sprinting ability.

Same here...the naartjie flavour (to add variety to the taste of pure "Windmill-Cherry liquer")

I am quite fond of game, but since the advent of a little "boep" I am trying to de-sugar myself (easier said than done!) so now I am trying to do my training rides on as little sugar as possible.

 

Did 75km road ride this morning on a bit of Rehidrate and unsweetened Lecol in my water. Tasted a bit like dishwater with all the lemon flavouring, but I survived reasonably well for a coffee and two eggs as breakfast

Game turns my saliva into something resembling wallpaper paste. Surely if we are going to have a go at supplements we should avoid something that is full of fluorescent chemicals colours.

For training I go with water only (but will stop for a coke when I need a break)

My friend forgot to take their homeopathy meds and died of an overdose.

I struggle with two things:

1. Taste of neat water
   
2. Electrolytes
   

So I need to doctor water a bit to break the taste
