Learn How Fixx Nutrition can help you overcome the top 3 challenges endurance athletes face when it comes to fueling and nutrition.
Digestive Distress: Conquer gastrointestinal issues by using gut-friendly nutrition like the Fixx product range. Complex carbohydrates such as maltodextrin are difficult for most people to digest without conditioning them. Fixx sticks to simple carbs such as Dextrose and Fructose for less risk of Gastrointestinal Distress. Even our Gel X Pro energy gels are gut-friendly, so you never have to worry about testing multiple products for stomach-upset again!
Avoiding the “Bonk”: In order to avoid hitting the dreaded wall, make sure you fuel adequatley before and during exercise. Our Fuel X Pro and Gel X Pro are high-carbohydrate products that are designed to provide sustained energy. Both contain Alanine which will also assist with maintaining energy levels.Aim for 30-60g of carbs per hour for the first three hours, increasing to 60-90g of carbs per hour after that. 1 x Gel X Pro = 29.2g carbs so try to take between 1-3 gels per hour.
Muscle Cramping: Minimise the risk of cramping by managing hydration, electrolyte balance, and carbohydrate intake to maintain a body weight loss of less than 2%. It’s essential to recognise that not all cramps are nutrition-related. Even with optimal fueling, cramps may still occur. That’s why, having products like CrampFix® on hand, which can prevent and alleviate cramps in seconds, proves invaluable during both training sessions and on race-day.
In conclusion, prioritizing gut-friendly nutrition with products offered by Fixx can significantly enhance your athletic performance. By choosing the correct fuel nutrition to avoid digestive distress, ‘hitting the wall’ and muscle cramping, you can optimise your training and racing experience. With careful attention to hydration, electrolyte balance, and carbohydrate intake, coupled with rapid cramp-relief CrampFix®, you’ll be well-equipped to conquer any challenges on your endurance journey.
