Phạm Tô Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 I have read a few articles on stage races such as Joberg2C and The Epic and noticed that you should have a pre-race drink for breakfast. What is a pre-race drink ? I'm assuming a high carb shake from Evox or USN etc.

What is a pre-race drink ? I'm assuming a high carb shake from Evox or USN etc. Standard disclaimer: My humble opinion is based on my experience. My approach is simple. What I drink when training is what I drink before a race and during a race. With that said I have used a lot of products as I like to switch things up and not use the same product for too long. I have used Biogen Cytogen and Carbogen, USN Cyto power, Maurten, Powerbar, and Sugar water (with an electrolyte tab and lemon juice). In as much as a prerace drink is beneficial, I think your actual breakfast is more important as sports drinks are typically high on the GI index whereas single-ingredient foods are normally low. So I eat a huge breakfast 2-3 hours before a race and dispose of the waste thoroughly before starting the race. But if The Ouzo's approach appeals to you, I would highly recommend the following, especially in this cold weather. Edited July 6, 2023 by Ncayi Zebra 1

Headshot Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 Craft beer or you simply run out of gas by mid race, I've found.
