Very good point made on trying gels during your training rather than on race day to make sure your body can digest them.

[@KineticaSports]

Definitely. A must!

Great tips Greg! That overnight oat recipe looks nice, must try it out!

[@KineticaSports]

Our plant protein mixes really well with the oats!

Hey Greg Ik you love the hokas, but have you considered dubarrys ??

Loved the pacing conversation, that’s what I have found ruins a run for me, starting out too fast and then hating the last few kms. How far into a training plan should you start taking gels? If your body needs to get used to it is it ok to start introducing for some of the shorter runs or should you only use for 10/15Km+ runs?

Good question! Firstly, you can begin to include using gels for your longer training runs. The important thing is that you use them during your training & nutritional strategy before your event/race. For any training session or event less than 60 minutes, there is probably no need for gels. Once you pass that 60min mark, performance will begin to decline and this is where our gels are very useful, as they contain 24g of carbohydrates that are quickly absorbed by your body. For events that last 1-2 hours, we recommend intaking 30g of carbs per hour. We delve into this further on our Instagram page if you want to check that out now!
