@maurten_official "For a recreational runner, I want to explain that the body needs fuel to move for a long time. The more you practice before, the more you can consume on a run or on a race day." — Eliud Kipchoge. It's in training where you experiment, practice, and get used to fueling. That necessity is bound to possible limitations. Training is routine-based — similar workouts, similar routes, similar times of day, and similar fuel. The monotony and flavor fatigue of regular fueling can demotivate and reduce carbohydrate consumption. Taste buds can become desensitized and fuel becomes less appealing. It can break an athlete’s commitment to the plan they are trying to follow. The results can be underfueling, an energy deficit, and performance decline. The knock-on effect can impact recovery — making subsequent sessions less effective — and hinder the physical adaptions that lead to progress. Drink Mix is a liquid carbohydrate fuel with a neutral taste profile. But even in the absence of taste, flavor fatigue can limit performance. To help maintain your target carbohydrates per hour and reset the palate as required, add your preferred Addition — Cola, Orange, Apple, or Menthol — to a 500 ml bottle of prepared Drink Mix 320 or 160. Maurten Additions reinforce the personal importance of fueling — adding taste is chosen, not forced. Remove flavor fatigue. Add taste to the Mix.
