“I had issues with electrolyte consumption on the run for 2 of the Ironman races I have done. I competed in IM Coeur d Alene this year and can say I figured out the right formula! I work at Mellow Johnnys Bike Shop in Austin and have the advantage of trying out a lot of products, one that really caught my eye was First Endurance. They sponsor Astana, thus Lance uses the stuff (not bragging but he turned me onto First Endurance). I found that First Endurance’s products are loaded with a lot more electrolytes than the stuff out there. This is HUGE for me because I sweat like crazy and loose a lot of salt.
One of the products they sell is a gel flask that has 1500mg of electrolytes and 400 calories. Basically it is 4 packets of other gels but the electrolytes in it are a lot higher. I took a ’shot’ every 3 miles and at special needs I had another one in there that I took every 3 miles. I also made sure to drink 2 cups of fluid at every aid station. 1 water, 1 Gatorade. This formula work perfectly. I ran the entire marathons, something I havent done the last 2 IM’s because I blew up on the run because of dehydration. The only thing I changed was my nutrition. First Endurance is great stuff! Email me if you have any more questions: vince@mellowjohnnys.com.”

“I have to tell you again how great 1st Endurance supplements are! I have continued my use of Optygen and it seems to be cumulative. I just took 13 minutes off of my marathon PR and ran a 2:27:32 at Vermont City. I used the Pre-Race mix before and at mile 16 and felt the engine rev! I love this stuff!”

“I love the first endurance liquid shot, its great. And the Optygen seems to be helping keep the energy high here in victoryville! I used it to win race two of the National Ultra Endurance Series! www.cyclingnews.com/mtb.php?id=mtb/2009/may09/mohican100_09″
