For many athletes, all they may need during prolonged exercise is one 21oz bottle of Roctane drink and 1 Roctane gel per hour for total calories including gels, solids and drinks.
The gut can only absorb so many calories at a time during exercise, especially when most of your blood is being delivered to your hard-working muscles. Roctane Energy Gel is designed to help provide nutritional support for prolonged exercise. The extra ingredients help combat central fatigue, promote muscle recovery, help buffer a decrease in pH from exceeding lactate threshold, and help increase muscle focus and decrease perceived effort.
How will the added electrolytes and amino acids in Roctane Energy Gel help me in an endurance event? As always, the article is full of interesting content. Just a bit confused. How would I confirm the reaction from nutrition like GU at race pace without actually running that pace on an extended run. If I have a tendency to bonk 18 miles with no nutrition then it stands to reason that I would have to test past that point to make sure that I can still injest nutrition well past that point.
I do not know if my stomach shuts down when I run or not. Or, am I making this more complicated than it is. Would it be better if I join or pay to ask questions? Have not been able to access the Blueprint forum.

Drinks lots of water, but probably not eating enough on race day and needs extra electrolytes. Doctor suggested energy gels, but not sure on timing for a race under 16 minutes at faster pace.
Any suggestions? Hi Christy, thanks for reaching out. Running 3 miles does not require a gel, it is probably a case of not eating enough and running too hard early in the race.

Normally pair with a lighter fruit option for later on in the run. Maybe my new favorite flavor! I've tried a few flavors and I like the vanilla bean. Flavor is just a personal choice. I have still used the product when I couldn't get that flavor.

Therefore, using both products will help provide every nutritional advantage possible to athletes who demand the best from themselves and their nutrition. The gut can only absorb so many calories at a time during exercise, especially when most of your blood is being delivered to your hard-working muscles.
If you add too many calories during intense exercise, your body can't send enough blood to your gut to digest the carbs, making your gut cramp, forcing you to slow down. ROCTANE Energy Gel is designed to help provide added nutritional support for prolonged exercise, which is why there are additional amino acids and sodium.
However, they have the same number of calories per gel as our original Energy Gel. Supplementation with sodium can help prevent cramping as well as minimize the chances of hyponatremia.
The additional amino acids in ROCTANE Energy Gel serve several important functions, including acting as a fuel source for working muscle, and helping promote muscle recovery following exercise. ROCTANE Energy Gel contains branched-chain amino acids that have been shown to help prevent central fatigue by competing with tryptophan for transport across the blood brain barrier. It is important to practice with what you plan to use during your race, too. Your gut adapts to digest and transport dietary carbohydrate if "trained" to do so by eating carbohydrate during your training sessions.
So, rule of thumb, whatever you're using during training, plan to race with the same thing to help optimize your personal performance on race day.
