How to properly use Cadence Nutrition

Thanks guys!

Best strategy would be 750ml marathon and 750ml carbofuel. Take along 1 bar and 4 gels.

 

Drink the marathon first for 90min then switch.

 

Gels at the end of each hour and 1 in reserve.

 

Bar at halfway point.

 

However, not having trained your gut you might not tolerate the carbohydrate load. In which case it would be better to leave out the bar (which will also be hardest to consume in the bunch).

 

Not sure I'm supposed to tell people to use less of our product but there you have it.

 

What do one drink before the race starts? How long before?

You can start sipping a carbohydrate drink about 20min before the start once you are warmed up. That will prime the stomach and start absorption from the word go. Drink about 200ml total.

And I forgot to mention. That last gel is just in case you hit the wall and need emergency supplies.

Brushed the wall last week towards the end of a long slow training ride. Nothing out the ordinary in my nutrition and prep. I'm bringing a sledgehammer with this weekend, just in case.
