Your gut is part of your training.

If you want to fuel at 60, 80 or 90g+ of carbs per hour, you need to train your gut to handle it.

You wouldn’t suddenly double your running volume before race day. Fueling works the same way.

Start with what you can tolerate.
Build gradually.
Practice at race intensity.
Use the same products and strategy you plan to race with.

And remember, it’s not just about how much carbohydrate you take in.

The type, ratio and amount all matter.

Your fueling strategy should be trained just like your legs.

Next up: when to reach for gels, drinks, bars and other fuel sources.

Collagen isn’t just about skin.

For women who train, connective tissue deserves attention too.

Collagen plays an important structural role throughout the body, supporting tissues including joints, tendons, ligaments, bones and skin.

And as women move through different stages of life, changes in hormones can make maintaining bone and connective tissue health increasingly important.

That’s where Coll-Egg comes in.

Made with ESM® eggshell membrane, it provides collagen types I, V and X, alongside naturally occurring compounds including hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulphate and amino acids. We’ve also added Boswellia serrata, curcuminoids from turmeric and piperine.

Because performance isn't only about the training you can put in.
It’s about supporting the body that has to handle it. 🤍

The work doesn’t stop when the session ends.

Recovery is where the adaptation happens.

After training, your body needs both protein and carbohydrates to replenish, repair and prepare for the next session. Recovery Drink brings both together in a convenient post-workout shake, with a 1:1 protein-to-carb ratio and 20–22 g of high-quality grass-fed whey protein per serving.

It also contains 1,500 mg creatine, MCTs, L-arginine and golden flax, with less than 2 g of sugar per serving.

Simple. Convenient. Built for recovery.

Train hard. Recover harder. ⚡️

You’re probably underfuelling.

For years, athletes were told to aim for 30–60g of carbs per hour.

And for a long time, that worked.

But performance has moved on.

We now know that many athletes can benefit from 60–90g+ per hour during longer sessions.

More fuel
More available energy
Better performance over time

So why isn’t everyone doing it?

Because your body has limits.

If you rely on a single carb source
you can only absorb so much.

That’s why everything we’ve spoken about matters
different carb types
how they’re absorbed
and how they’re combined

But there’s another piece to this

👉 your gut needs to handle it

You can’t jump from 40g to 90g overnight

Fuelling at higher levels is something you train
just like your legs

Start where you are
build it over time
and your body adapts

It’s not just about how much you take in
It’s about how much you can actually use

Hydration is part of performance.

When you train, you lose more than water. Sweat takes electrolytes with it too, particularly sodium.

HydraZero is a zero-calorie, effervescent electrolyte drink designed to help replace those electrolytes and keep you hydrated before, during or after exercise.

Light. Refreshing. Easy to take with you.

No unnecessary calories. Just the hydration your training demands.

Hydrate. Perform. Repeat.💧

Recovery isn’t optional - it’s where the progress happens ✨

This Women’s Month, let’s talk about glutamine - a key amino acid that helps your body stay strong, resilient, and ready for more.

Here’s why it matters 👇

• Supports recovery
Helps repair muscle tissue after tough sessions.

• Immune system support
Heavy training can suppress immunity - glutamine helps keep you protected.

• Gut health support
Maintains gut lining integrity, especially important during long endurance efforts.

• Reduces muscle breakdown
Supports muscle preservation during high training loads.

• Helps you train consistently
Less downtime, more quality sessions.

• Ideal for endurance athletes
Long sessions = more stress on your body - glutamine helps you handle it.

Stay consistent. Stay strong. Fuel your recovery 💗

Not all carbs are equal.
And neither are the ratios.

During endurance exercise, your body has a limit to how much it can absorb from a single carb source.

So if you rely on just one
you cap your energy.

This is where carb ratios matter.

Combining maltodextrin and fructose allows you to absorb and use more fuel per hour.

A ratio like 10:8 is built to:
• increase total carb uptake
• deliver steady energy
• reduce the risk of gut issues

Instead of overloading one pathway
you use both.

This matters most when:
• sessions go longer than 2 hours
• you are pushing 60 to 90g+ carbs per hour
• you want to avoid late-race energy drops

It is not about eating more.
It is about absorbing more.
