Race Day Boost - the loading begins…
Long time readers of this “blog” will probably already know I’m a huge fan of the E-Caps.com range of endurance supplements. Race Day Boost is another great product which I take in the build up to a big race. Today begins my 4 day loading cycle before Sunday’s Frederick Marathon and I hope to reap the benefits of this awesome product once again.
E-Caps.com claim this product will:
(a) Prolong endurance
(b) Increase performance time at anaerobic threshold
(c) Provide unsurpassed lactic acid buffering and
(d) Help boost glycogen storage
After using it for several big races in the past (Shamrock Marathon, Duke Liver Half Ironman and IronmanUSA Lake Placid), I can only fully endorse the product. As an example, at the Shamrock Marathon 6 weeks ago, I was able to finish stronger than I’ve ever been able to finish over the classic distance and set a new PR by almost 2 minutes.
An extra benefit of the product is that 2000 mg of glutamine daily, the amount provided in four servings (one day’s loading dose) of Race Day Boost, has been shown to elevate plasma growth hormone levels, a definite benefit while tapering for an event.
From the E-Caps.com Web Site:
“Race Day Boost contains one of the most potent legal ergogenics available for competition. In the most extensive study to date on Race Day Boost’s key ingredient, fit cyclists, in a 40K time trial, netted a whopping 8% improvement in performance time! The simple formula belies its profound effectiveness, aiding in increased cellular energy production and buffering performance-robbing lactic acid. A four-day loading dose of Race Day Boost prior to a key race can make a noticeable improvement in your performance. This is a special product for special events, but if you intend to win, you better have Race Day Boost on board.”
The pre-race loading consists of the following:
(a) 1 teaspoon Race Day Boost in 6-8 ounces of carbohydrate beverage (sports drink, fruit juice) four times a day (total of 16 doses in the four days leading up to the event. If race is on Sunday, begin loading doses on Wednesday.
(b) Do not take Race Day Boost the day of the event.
