Are you new to long-distance running? Don't panic, we'll explain everything, starting with the physiology of exercise and simply walking you through all the steps to meet your needs! Get ready, you're about to change your perspective on nutrition!
How to define your needs? (carbohydrates & electrolytes)
Nearly 90% of ultra-endurance athletes have no idea how much carbohydrate and mineral they need during exercise. You're not alone! Let's explore simple ways to determine your needs based on your physiological parameters, sex, and even weather conditions.
Gel or DrinkMix - Which product best suits your needs and practice?
For medium-intensity efforts, without concentration constraints, with excellent solubility and very low sugar content, we recommend choosing Drinkmix. For prolonged high-intensity efforts, requiring high energy concentration, precise dosages, a desire for compactness, better bioavailability and potentially the comfort and/or natural antioxidant effects of Blueberry, opt instead for the Gel. At Pyrène, the choice isn't about comparing products, but about optimizing the same carbohydrate base according to your physiological and logistical constraints. Ultimately, the choice also comes down to personal taste and preference, as both products share the same formula and deliver the same results at similar dosages during exercise.
