SwissVan Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 The Ultra runners also swears by the Mague stuff... still have to work up the nerve to try it though.... Thats what I thought once upon a time, also tried it at some road running race in Gauteng and was pleasantly suprised. Some races used to supply them in sachets at water tables...

Speed Devil Posted April 2, 2009 Author Posted April 2, 2009 Thanks for advice people. Lucky I don't have weight issues, so the carbs won't do anything to me. I will try stock up on some fruit and try get more sleep in....if my family allows it. I forgot to mention how phucked I really was yesterday morning....coming through town to Hatfield, I was going up Beatrix street to turn into Church street when a guy on a hypermaket-special MTB wearing tekkies and baggies passed me...I wonder what he was thinking
scotty Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Bicycling has a good link but i still prefer my boerrie roll and beer recovery meal.http://www.bicycling.co.za/articles/handbook/the_fuel/2623
pastapouch Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 most important is to replenish your clycogen levels...so have bread, potatoes, pasta, banana and also add a protein like eggs, cheese ham, diary.

Spinnekop Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Chocolate flavoured milk for post race protein / carb drink. Also try Mageu #1.... fat free and full of carbs. The Ultra runners also swears by the Mague stuff... still have to work up the nerve to try it though.... The good stuff..........drank it for a while back in the days.....but it tastes like when you lick a cow from behind. Fist a strange sour......o never mind....
Wazza Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 On Supercycling just before the S2C they had a dietician and she recmmended that you have a 500ml coke when you get off the bike and then a high GI carb chow, like a boerrie or burger. Ten you need to eat small meals with low GI carbs and protien every hour. That's for stage racing. There is nothing like a good t-bone and potatoes (chips) before or after a race.
scotty Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 There is nothing like a good t-bone and potatoes (chips) before or after a race. When Alan Robbs was at his prime he used to have that the night before he ran comrades and it worked wonders for him.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 steeeeeak! Gotta love it. But I have to aggree with the boerie roll idea. Works wonders. Looks like you need mroe sleep as well though... Hell, looks like I've just copied everyone else's suggestions, doesn't it?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 same here - chicken pita wif loads of veg... And a protein shake. Was a 2 hour suffer-fest in Tokai, after all.
