For optimal recovery, address four essential nutritional areas immediately after each exercise session: Rehydration To maintain optimal hydration status, daily intake of 0.5-0.6 ounces of water per pound of body weight is ideal. Carbohydrates Consume 30-60 grams of highquality complex carbohydrates to replenish glycogen stores and aid in the rebuilding of muscle tissue. Protein Consuming 10-20 grams of high-quality protein in your post-workout fuel provides critical raw materials to rebuild stressed muscles, enhance glycogen storage, and support proper immune system function. Micronutrient Replenishment It’s very important to replenish vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients depleted during exercise. This also provides a variety of antioxidants to neutralize the massive quantities of free radicals that have been created. This subject is discussed comprehensively in The Endurance Athlete’s GUIDE to SUCCESS. Details on page 68.

Unfortunately, most sports drinks aren’t much more than artificially colored sugar water that do little to aid your performance and even less for your health. Fortunately, there’s a healthier alternative in HEED, which contains no added simple sugars and no artificial colors or sweeteners. HEED is formulated with complex carbohydrates for long-lasting energy, and a full spectrum of chelated minerals provides you with the electrolytes you need to keep pushing the pace. USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS WHEN Before During After DURATION 0-2 hr Use 2-4 hrs 4+ hrs Optional Avoid HEED’s subtle, never sugary-sweet taste ensures that it goes down easily. No citric acid is added to the formula, so it won’t burn your throat or stomach. HEED contains only healthy sweeteners, with xylitol being especially beneficial for helping to promote oral health. Other ingredients in HEED that you probably won’t find in other sports drinks include L-carnosine for buffering lactic acid, chromium polynicotinate to support stable blood sugar levels, L-tyrosine to help maintain optimal thyroid and adrenal gland function, and vitamin B6, which plays an important role in maintaining sodium-potassium balance. If you prefer sports drinks over energy gels, or if you like to use the two together, give HEED a try. We guarantee that you’ll see a difference in your athletic performance when you use a sports drink done right.

Whey is the most easily assimilated of all proteins and is packed with a tremendous amount of naturally occurring branched chain amino acids. Hammer Whey also contains high amounts of other recovery-specific amino acids and is glutamine fortified for immune system support. Hammer Whey is 100% whey protein isolate, so you get more actual protein per serving and less lactose and fat than obtained through the commonly found concentrate form. Serious endurance athletes have protein requirements far above the normal adult RDA, so be sure you have Hammer Whey on hand. “I recently used Hammer Whey Protein and really liked it.

Previously, it was believed that 1/2 gram of protein per pound (about 1/2 kilogram) of body weight—75 grams for a 150-pound (68 kg) person—per day was sufficient. Today’s standards, however, would increase that figure to about 100-112 grams (2/3 to 3/4 grams of protein per pound of body weight). To find out how much you require, multiply your weight in kilograms by 1.4 to 1.7, depending on your exercise intensity. This gives you the amount of protein (in grams) that you should consume on a daily basis. (To convert from pounds to kilograms, divide by 2.2.) Thus, a 165-pound (75 kg) athlete in high training mode should consume about 128 grams of protein daily. Call or go online today!

Keep fluid intake during exercise between 16-28 ounces per hour. Most athletes, under most conditions, will satisfy hydration needs with a fluid intake in the range of 20-25 ounces per hour, the equivalent of the typical regular-to-large size water bottle. Lighter athletes and/or athletes exercising in cool weather conditions may only require an intake of 16-18 ounces per hour. Heavier athletes or athletes exercising in hotter conditions may consider intakes of up to 28 ounces per hour. Consistent fluid intake over 30 ounces per hour greatly increases the potential for dilutional hyponatremia. Unless you enjoy nausea, cramping, bloating, and DNFs, forget advice like “drink to replace” or “drink even when you’re not thirsty”—it’s just plain wrong. Read more about our products and strategies in our guides. Complete information on page 68. 2. It is never a good idea to “sodium load”! 300-600 mg of salt (sodium chloride) per hour is the ideal range—if you need more than this, you have an excess dietary sodium issue, not an insufficient replenishment problem. Lower dietary sodium intake allows for reasonable Endurolytes supplementation during exercise to support the optimal performance of important bodily functions, including cramp prevention. “Electrolyte replenishment” does not just mean “sodium or salt replenishment.” Calcium, magnesium, potassium, and the other key minerals found in the Endurolytes products must be replenished as well in proper proportions and ratios. These minerals play key roles in the maintenance of critical bodily functions. The truth is that most athletes consume way too much salt everyday—upwards of 8,000-12,000 mg—that’s three to five times more than is ideal! The best thing you can do to get an edge on heat stress is reduce dietary sodium levels to 2,300-2,800 mg per day. 3. 120-180 calories per hour is ideal for most athletes. “Less is best” for caloric intake. Your workout or race can go down the drain fast if you follow the “calories out, calories in” protocol that many “experts” recommend. Athletes who attempt to replace all of the calories they lose will end up with bloating, nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea. If you want to achieve your best performance, replenish calories in “body cooperative” amounts, allowing your fat stores to make up the difference. While 240-280 calories per hour is a theoretical hourly maximum, almost all athletes have the best results with intake ranging from 120-180 calories per hour. Smaller athletes and consumption while running will be toward the lower end, larger athletes and consumption while cycling will typically require more.

Efficient energy production from your food and oxygen intake requires several important substrates. Exercise rapidly depletes these important nutrients. Taking Race Caps Supreme is like putting fresh spark plugs in your body, ensuring consistent, efficient energy production. In addition, several nutrients in Race Caps Supreme—headed up by Coenzyme Q10 and Idebenone—are superb antioxidants and key nutrients for cardiovascular health. Other companies offer anemic attempts at an endurance supplement, but Race Caps Supreme stands alone as a safe, comprehensive, and effective formula promoting higher energy levels, increased endurance, and improved recovery. Race Caps Supreme provides dynamic general health benefits as well, making it a year-round essential. If there’s one supplement with which to start your program, this is it. SIZE 90 Capsules 3 or more Powerfully beneficial components in the Race Caps Supreme formula PRICE $48.95 $44.95 Vitamin E – Energy production is not a completely “clean” process; free radicals, which can cause tissue and cellular damage, are a naturally occurring and unavoidable metabolic by-product. That’s precisely why vitamin E, while not directly involved in the cellular respiration process, is a vital component in the Race Caps Supreme formula.

Oxy-Assist – This precise blend of three nutrients provides benefits for enhancing oxygen utilization, optimizing fats-for-fuels capabilities, and supporting energy production and acid buffering. Trimethylglycine (TMG) – This nutrient assists with the utilization of fatty acids for energy production, has been used to treat muscular weakness and degeneration, is a powerful antioxidant, and primarily acts as a methyl donor to enhance the transport of oxygen to muscle tissues. Inosine – This nutrient plays many roles in the body, including ATP production. Perhaps one of the most beneficial is its ability to increase oxygen-carrying capacity of blood, allowing more oxygen to be delivered to the muscles, thereby reducing fatigue. 1.800.336.1977 / www.hammernutrition.com Glycerol phosphate – Used in the muscle mitochondrial cells for the production of energy, phosphates are also beneficial for buffering excess acidity. Krebs cycle intermediates – Race Caps Supreme supports the TCA (Krebs) cycle by supplying a precise amount of the Krebs cycle intermediates malate, citrate, aspartate, lysinate, and glycinate, which are chelators for the minerals calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Another Krebs cycle intermediate, alpha ketoglutarate, is included as well. Digestive aids – To ensure maximum nutrient absorption, Race Caps Supreme contains a potent blend of various digestive aids, including the proprietary formula Enzyme Enhancement System™, which consists of no less than eight digestive enzymes.

KNOWLEDGE Real, potent ingredients The two key players in the Race Caps Supreme formula are Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and Idebenone. These two nutrients are the primary substrates involved in the Electron Transport Chain process of ATP (energy) production by the mitochondria. CoQ10’s importance is difficult to overstate because, quite simply, without it the chain of cellular energy production is broken. This is key not only for athletic performance, but also for maintaining strong immunity and cardiovascular and brain health. For both athletic performance and general health applications, there is simply no question that the athlete MUST supplement with CoQ10. If you’re not taking Race Caps Supreme, you’re simply not getting the most out of your training and you’re denying yourself the opportunity for greater success in your races. Real Athletes, Real Results! “More than a daily essential, Race Caps Supreme is a workout essential. On days when I am working out more than a short recovery effort, I take multiple capsules to ensure that I am hitting on all cylinders.

Did you know that there has never been a single clinical study that documents what comprises a balanced diet, nor one that has demonstrated one’s ability to meet basic nutrient requirements solely through whole foods? In fact, new studies show that our food supply does not provide all of the micronutrients we need to prevent deficiency, let alone achieve optimal health. Where exactly does regular food consumption fall short? Usually not in calories (except during and right after endurance exercise), never in salt, often in protein for hard-training athletes, seldom in fat (though omega-3s can be an issue for some), and almost always in micronutrients. Regular diets simply can’t cover the entire range of vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, antioxidants, and other micronutrients necessary to maintain optimal health and peak athletic performance. Therefore, if you want to achieve your best performances in your workouts and races—and even more importantly, enjoy optimal health (not minimal, optimal!)—then daily supplementation is a necessity, not an option.

Appestat’s primary functions are to help suppress appetite, provide a feeling of satiety with fewer calories, reduce sugar cravings, help maintain ideal blood glucose and insulin levels, and support thyroid gland function for optimizing metabolism. Phytolean helps increase fat metabolism, decrease fat absorption and storage, and blocks the digestion and absorption of starchy carbohydrates. mind that Appestat is designed to be used to recalibrate your appetite when you are initiating a calorie-reduction (weight loss diet) program and thus needs to be taken at very specific times and for no more than 3-4 weeks. Using Phytolean simultaneously will absolutely hasten your weight loss. However, the beauty of Phytolean is that you can use it any time you happen to overindulge in starchy carbs (read: too much bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, etc.). Both products can be used in tandem.

Endurance Amino compares extremely well to high-priced amino acid tablets on the market, at a fraction of the cost. The foundation of Endurance Amino is the three branched chain amino acids, or BCAAs (l-leucine, l-isoleucine, l-valine), which help delay exercise-induced or central nervous system-induced fatigue, improve immune system reaction, and enhance recovery. Another amino acid, l-alanine, is included in the Endurance Amino formula. The liver can convert l-alanine into glucose as needed, which the bloodstream transports to the muscles for energy. Additionally, l-alanine aids in the synthesis of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), which is also needed for protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism. Last, but certainly not least, Endurance Amino contains glutathione, a tripeptide consisting of the amino acids glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. Glutathione is one of the three endogenous antioxidants the body maintains to control excess exposure to free radicals produced during exercise as well as from exposure via the environment. Endurance Amino is ideal to use after all workouts and races, and really shines—the perfect complement to Anti-Fatigue Caps—when taken hourly during training sessions and races that extend beyond two hours. Endurance Amino gives you a wide range of powerful amino acid benefits at an affordable price. OTHER INGREDIENTS Rice Bran, Magnesium Stearate, Vegetable Capsules (plant cellulose and water).

Plan on a daily transition from stimulating activities to less active, relaxing pursuits up to three hours prior to sleep. Some possibilities include reading, listening to music, or soaking in a warm bath. 4. See if you can synchronize your sleep pattern with available sunlight by developing the habit of going to bed when the sun sets and waking near the time when it rises. While this is not always possible, you can try to reinforce your basic sleep cycles (circadian rhythms) by providing a dark, quiet environment for sleep. 2. Avoid consumption of caffeine, alcohol, or foods rich in tyrosine or tyramine within three hours or more before going to bed. Foods containing tyrosine include almonds, avocados, bananas, and dairy products, as well as pumpkin and sesame seeds. 5.

KNOWLEDGE Why athletes need supplements Your primary nutritional goal is to consistently practice a healthy diet. Consume whole grains, high-quality protein, and locally grown organic foods while avoiding packaged/processed foods and junk foods as much as possible. Restrict sodium and avoid foods containing excess simple sugars, such as sucrose and fructose. Artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors, and preservatives should be avoided at all costs. However, even if you can do all of this, it’s not enough. As an endurance athlete, you place enormous physiological demands on your body, so your nutrient requirements—just to maintain health— are much greater than the average person. However, your goal isn’t to just maintain health at a minimally acceptable standard; your goal is to achieve supreme health. In addition, you want to get the absolute most out of your body so that it can do what you want it to in your workouts and races, while you have more fun and achieve greater success in the process. That’s where an intelligent, high-quality supplement program comes in; it plays an undeniably vital role in helping you achieve optimal athletic performance and overall health.

Taking supplements helps bridge the gap between what you need and what you’re actually getting. Consuming an optimal diet as consistently as possible and augmenting that with sufficient amounts of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and auxiliary/complementary nutrients is the best way to cover your nutritional bases. For these reasons, supplementation is not an option, it’s essential.

While we were there, we decided to loosen up a bit on our eating and sample the local fare everywhere we went. We ate spaetzle in Austria, goulash in Hungary, lots of pasta in Italy, and paella in Spain. Breakfasts were the typical European croissant or baguette. During our trip, we did ride our bikes, but less than half the normal mileage. We jokingly called our trip “the eating and cycling tour of Europe.” PRICE $34.95 $29.95 Supplement Facts Serving Size 2 Capsules Servings Per Container 60 Amount Per Serving %DV Raspberry Ketone (as Razberi-K®)** 400mg † Phaseolus Vulgaris L (as Fabenol Max™)** 1000mg † * Percent Daily Values based on a 2,000 calorie diet. † Daily Value not established. I weighed myself after we returned, and it was exactly the same as before we left when I had been riding much more. I would have expected to gain about four or five pounds without Phytolean. With Thanksgiving and holiday gatherings ahead, I will definitely keep this wonderful product handy. I’m pretty good with my eating habits, but in years past have had to spend January and February working off the extra pounds. With Phytolean, I’m confident that won’t be necessary in 2014. **Razberi-K is a trademark of Integrity Nutraceuticals International. **Fabenol Max is a trademark of Sabinsa Corporation.
