Hammer will be supplying its world famous H.E.E.D (High Energy Electrolyte
Drink) Official course drink.
HEED known for it's extremely subtle taste and ease of consumption, using only
complex Carbohydrates and no simple sugars, with a full spectrum of Electrolytes,
making it the perfect fuel.
Athletes will also be provided with HammerGel, known for its great taste and
again no added simple sugars.
Endurance athletes who are looking for a more Endurance fuel source should
also consider, Perpetuem. Known for its everlasting fuel mix of Carbs, protein
and lipids, its reputation amongst Endurance Athletes for providing a rock
solid fuel for events lasting greater than 4 hours!
How to fuel for Huski (2/80/20)
The average competitor will take between 5 - 6 hours for this event.
Keep fluid intake during exercise between 550-800/ml per hour.
Keep Calorie consumption to a maximum of 300 cal / hour. (1260 kj/ Hr)
Measure exactly what calories/kj you are consuming. Taking too much is worse
than not enough!
Separate your hydration from your nutrition on the bike to stop confusion
Only consume complex Carbohydrates until the last 20-30 minutes of the run.
Use some form of extra Endurolytes supplementation. The longer and hotter
your event the more you will need this.
Hammer’s preferred fuel use.
1. On the bike use either H.E.E.D (will be supplied on course approx 220
calories/ bottle) or Perpeutem.
- start with 1 bottle H.E.E.D (2 scoops – 200 calories) drink 1 before exchange
of bottles station. Also take 1 HammerGel. Total Calories = 300 max. Add
1-3 Endurolytes / hour. Repeat for 2nd hour on bike.
- 3rd hour on bike take 2 HammerGels per hour. Add 1-3 Endurolytes. We prefer
that athletes take on slightly less fuel towards the end of the bike to ensure
possible gastro problems will be reduced when the run starts.
An alternative to H.E.E.D is Perpetuem. Some may prefer this. If so use a 3
hour bottle and place approx 6 scoops in the bottle. Divide the bottle into
3 and consume 1/3 of a bottle/hour
2. On the run take 2 -3 HammerGels per Hour, plus 1-3 Endurolytes. Drink
550 -800 ml per hour. Avoid simple sugars until the last 20-30 minutes.
3. When finished refuel within 20-30 minutes with Recoverite (2-3 scoops)
