BEATING THE HEAT ☀️🥣

When the temperature rises, the same pace starts to cost more. Heart rate naturally drifts higher, cooling places a greater demand on the body, sweat and sodium losses increase, and real and perceived effort rises much faster than it would in cooler conditions 🥵

That is why training and racing well in the heat is not just about toughness. It is about having a strategy that helps you stay composed & fuelled when the body is under more strain.

BICARRB can be part of that strategy 📝

By combining the buffering benefits of bicarbonate with a BIG sodium load (replacing salt lost through sweat) it gives athletes another tool to help manage the rising cost of working hard in hot conditions ☀️

Alex Milne showed what that can look like in practice, winning the World 50km Championships in the heat of India, fuelled by BICARRB 📈

As the mercury rises, make sure you have a plan to beat the heat! 🥵

Science Spotlight: Bicarb Testing with Elite Rowers 🥣

British Sports Nutrition company, FLYCARB, recently visited Redgrave Pinsent Rowing Lake for a day of sodium bicarbonate (bicarb) testing, education and race-day strategising with elite British rowers 📝

As Gaz Turner, Performance Science Lead at British Rowing, explains, bicarb can offer a significant marginal gain when layered on top of the fundamentals: training, good nutrition and smart race preparation.

Bicarb works by helping buffer acidity during high-intensity efforts, making it especially relevant for events like rowing, where athletes are racing at a very high intensity 🥣

The aim of the session was to help athletes move beyond generic timing protocols and better understand their own individual bicarb response.

The athletes used Mango BICARRB, certified by Informed Sport, with periodic blood testing used to track bicarb levels over time and identify each athlete’s “time to peak”.

That data helped answer two key questions:
🥣 How does each athlete respond to bicarb?
📈 When are their bicarb levels likely to peak?

At the highest level, those details matter. Race-day fuelling is not just about what you take, but when you take it.

We also discussed practical strategies for using BICARRB across multi-day regattas and competitions involving multiple high-intensity races, where repeatability, timing and gut comfort all matter!

A huge thanks to the staff, coaches and athletes for making the day run so smoothly

We can’t wait to see the athletes smash their races this summer! 🏆

Tuffin Triumphs | 3:54.06 Mile 📈

Joe Tuffin stormed to victory at the BMC Belfast Mile, winning by over three seconds in a huge 3:54.06.

That performance sends him straight to the top of the FLYCARB rankings, taking one tenth off our previous mile record 🥣 And makes him the fastest ever at a BMC meet

The Tuffin Train was in full flow today. A proper juggernaut performance, and a very exciting sign of what could be to come in 2026 ♥️🖤

A pleasure to fuel you, Joe 🥣📈

飯澤千翔 | 日本王者がSEIKO GGP 1500mを制覇 🥣

先週末、飯澤千翔選手がSEIKOゴールデングランプリの1500mで3分37秒69を記録し、優勝しました。力強いラスト1周で集団を突き放す、圧巻の走りでした。
この勝利は、飯澤選手が素晴らしいレースコンディションにあることを示すものでした。そして今、その視線は2021年に河村一輝選手が樹立した日本記録、3分35秒42へと向けられています。
飯澤選手は今シーズン、FLYCARBのBICARRBを使用しています。BICARRBは、一般的な胃腸トラブルを抑えながら、高用量の重炭酸を摂取できるよう設計されています。
重炭酸による酸性度のバッファリング効果が、今シーズンの日本記録更新を後押しすることを願っています。

Kazuto Iizawa | Japanese Champion 🥣

Kazuto Iizawa took victory over 1500m at the SEIKO Golden Grand Prix, running 3:37.69 with a powerful last-lap kick.

Now his eyes turn to the Japanese record of 3:35.42, set by Kazuki Kawamura in 2021.

Kazuto has been using FLYCARB’s BICARRB this season. We hope BICARRB’s acidity-buffering power can help him chase the national record this season 🥣

Charlie Chambers | European Lead 🥣

Charlie Chambers stormed to victory in the BMC A Race at Trafford, clocking 1:47.7 over 800m.

That time makes him the fastest U18 in Europe this year, the second-fastest 16-year-old in British history, and secures the qualifying time for the U18 World Championships 📈

🗣️ Charlie on the race:

“I sat in the pack, went at 150 and never looked back. Flew down the home straight and took the win. It’s exactly why I use FLYCARB.”

A performance like this comes from Charlie’s hard work, talent and great coaching setup. We’re just proud to give him the edge on top 🥣

Great to officially welcome Charlie to the Team, and fuel him with the buffering power of the people’s bicarb for 2026.

Ronan Keenan | Athlete of the Week 🥣

On Saturday, Ronan Keenan broke the 2-minute 800m barrier for the first time at the Belfast Classic, taking the win in style.

A special moment for any young athlete 📈

Ronan’s sub-2 timeline ⌛
🚧 One week earlier, Ronan ran 2:00.56, agonisingly close to the barrier.
🥣 A week later, he came to the BICARRB stand, bought one portion, and took it 2 hours before his race.

The result?
🎯 A near 2-second PB: 1:58.75 😪

He came back to the stand afterwards and bought a 10-pack 😂

In sport, there is often a fine line between success and failure. BICARRB is a science-backed marginal gain designed to help athletes find that edge and break PBs 🥣

Bicarb for Repeated High-Intensity Efforts 🥣

Most people think of bicarb as a supplement for one all-out effort 🏃‍♀️

♻️ But the salty sauce also comes to life when you have to go hard, recover, and then go hard again.

Think of a cycling stage race, HYROX, or multiple heats, throws and jumps on the track 🚲🏋️‍♀️

In one study, athletes completed two all-out bike efforts, separated by just 5 minutes of active recovery.

With placebo, performance dropped hard in effort two:
📉 11% less work completed
📉 8% drop in peak power

🥣 With bicarb athletes maintained performance, completing 5% more work in the second effort compared with placebo.

That matters for any sport built around repeated high-intensity work.

BICARRB helps enhance your body’s buffering system, helping you push back against the burn and produce power when others start to fade.

Records Fall at the Belfast Classic 🥣

Yesterday returned to the Belfast Classic. The track meet is part of the World Athletics Continental Tour Challenger series, but has a proper community feel 🙏

You really can’t beat the Northern Irish welcome from team .christie and the team 🔝

We had an amazing day speaking to athletes, and even better, seeing so many FLYCARB-fuelled PBs across the day 🥣😍

Our own highlight was helping pace Henry McLuckie, as he broke the legendary Steve Ovett's 39-year-old stadium 3000m record 😪

🎯 The old record stood at 7:44.83. Henry ran 7:43.64!

And we definitely needed the BICARRB ourselves, backing that up by pacing two more 3000m races at 2:47/km and 2:55/km pace.

We also brought almost double the stock we had last year… and didn’t bring any home! The movement is working 📈

Thank you, Belfast. Same again next year? 🥣
