Description
As much as 2/3 (66%) of an endurance athlete’s glycogen stores can be depleted in as little as 60 minutes of intensive (i.e.; above 70% MHR) exercise.
It can take in excess of 48hrs for an endurance athlete to replenish glycogen stores depleted by hard training or racing. It is therefore virtually impossible to train effectively / race for long periods at high intensity (over 70% VO2 Max) on consecutive days without supplemental nutrition, as glycogen replenishment and muscle recovery begin to fall behind the training demands being made on the body. If allowed to continue (due to the inherent “iron-man” mentality of most endurance athletes!) this can ultimately become counter productive in terms of athletic improvement and even potentially destructive in terms of health. (Note how many supposedly “super-fit” athletes have fallen prey to diseases such as cancer, Epstein-Barr virus etc!).
The human body is able to replenish its stores of glycogen, proteins and other nutrients most rapidly in the 60-minute "window" immediately following a training session. Using this effectively can accelerate recovery dramatically.
The optimum carbohydrate: protein ratio for maximum glycogen recovery and muscle repair during the post-training window period is approximately 80 : 20.
Using an optimized meal replacement product such as FiT DuraTrain immediately after training can assist and accelerate recovery between exercise sessions, enabling more frequent training, greater improvement, and less likelihood of slipping into the vicious downward spiral of “over-training syndrome”. This will also help preserve muscle mass, is especially significant in terms of preventing immune system depression and resultant health dangers.
Recommended Use
Serving Size - 2 scoops or 1 sachet (60g)
Pre-Exercise
Approx 2 scoops in 200ml water (milk will taste better but is not recommended as it may aggravate mucus production in some individuals) approximately 1 to 2 hrs before exercise.
Post-Exercise
Approx 2 scoops per 75 kg body mass / per 60 minutes of training / racing time. Mix in approx 200ml (1 cup) of low fat or skim milk to taste. Take as soon as possible (preferably within 10 to 30 min) after each training session. May also be mixed in water, or a mixture of milk & water.
Tours
As above plus additional servings as necessary as meal replacements during stage events. Consider alternating with bottles of FiT Carbo-Supreme on stages longer than 4 hours.
Speed / Power athletes
1 serving immediately after each training session. See also FiT Metab-Elite 40 (40% protein) and Metab-Elite 60 (60% protein) for persons who have a sub-optimal protein intake (below 1,5g per kg BM per day).
FiT DuraTrain has been carefully formulated to not only synergize with, but also to maximize the effect of the Post-training Window. Included are complex carbohydrates, X2PTM ultra high quality whey and soy protein isolates (rich in full spectrum of amino acids, phytosterols, isoflavones, Omega 3 and 6 Essential Fatty Acids, fructo-oligosaccarides, additional L-Glutamine, Pyruvate, L-Carnitine, a small (safe) maintenance dose of creatine (1,5g per serving), grapefruit seed extract, and a complete multi-vitamin, mineral and anti-oxidant package. All the ingredients are present in ratio’s optimized for the needs of most daily training endurance athletes and "tour" riders. The protein quantity is carefully balanced to help facilitate carbohydrate metabolism and also maintain muscle mass, but not so much as to inhibit maximal glycogen uptake.
DuraTrain also includes the FiT Accelerated Absorption System, which further promotes rapid intestinal absorption (which may be up to 38% faster than other supplements). When this is combined with the post training "window" effect, the overall nutrient absorption rate may be significantly faster than normal, with correspondingly accelerated protein synthesis to improve muscle cell repair rates.
NOTE: DuraTrain is not only for post-exercise use, it can also be used as an excellent “light” breakfast before an early morning ride or exercise session. This tops off glycogen reserves that will have been slightly depleted since the last main meal (usually the night before) and helps stabilize pre-exercise blood sugar levels preventing hunger pangs during the event.
The end result of using DuraTrain is greatly accelerated recovery, which enables more frequent, high intensity, training sessions, with correspondingly greater performance gains, and a greatly enhanced immune system function, meaning less “downtime”. During multi-day competitive events such as cycle tours, supplementing with DuraTrain helps prevent chronic fatigue ("burnout") and catabolism (muscle breakdown), which in turn ensures that performance is maintained in the final days.
