Endurance Mix 4-pack

Summer Berries

Example of a 2 hour run / ride:100ml of Perple Endurance Mix added to at least 400ml water, to make a 500ml drink, in either of a Perple soft flask or bottle. Consume through your 2 hours of activity.

• Top Tip 1: If you’re a heavier sweater or in a hot climate, simply mix with more water. For example, add 50ml concentrate to 300ml of water, to make a 350ml drink, for each hour. But, as a general rule, never consume more than 800ml of any fluid in any 1 hour.
• Top Tip 2: If you run with a vest, belt, or ride with multiple bottle cages, a backpack, or pocket cycle-shirt, always take a reserve 200ml pack of Perple Endurance Mix, and a spare Perple soft flask / bottle of water. Because, if you’re flagging in that 3rd hour, but want to push on, you can always take another 50ml hit of Perple, mixed with at least 200ml of water. Meaning, you would have doubled your dose, in that 3rd hour to 100ml Perple Endurance Mix, mixed with 400ml of water.

Example of a 4 hour road marathon:You’re going to need 2 x 200ml packs of Perple Endurance Mix, a Perple 500ml soft flask or bottle, and a running belt/vest. That’s 8 x 50ml portions. Mix 100ml, with 400ml water in a flask / bottle, to make a 500ml drink. It’s with you at the start, and consume during your first hour. Hold your remaining Perple Endurance Mix portions in a running belt / vest, ready to mix the same again, to make another 500ml drink at a water station, one hour into the race. To then consume in that 2nd hour. Repeat for every subsequent hour.

• Top Tip 1: If you’re a heavier sweater or in a hot climate, simply mix Perple Endurance Mix with more water, but as a general rule, never consume more than 800ml of any fluid, in any one hour.
• Top Tip 2: If you run with a vest, you could make ready 2 x 500ml soft flasks to cover you for the first 2 hours, meaning you only have to stop at 1 water station, to make a further 2 x 500ml mixes, for the second half of the marathon.

Example of a 2 hour run / ride: 150ml Perple Endurance Mix added to 600ml water, to make a 750ml drink. Consume during your 2 hours of activity.

• Top Tip 1: If you sweat heavily or are in hot conditions, mix Perple Endurance Mix with more water. But, as a general rule, do not exceed 800ml per hour.

Example of a 3 hour run / ride: Could mix total requirements in 3 x 500ml Perple soft flasks / bottles. Or alternatively in a 1.5L hydration bladder, if you run with a vest or ride with a backpack.

• Top Tip 1: The average athlete consumes 500ml of fluids per hour. But if you sweat more, you can mix Perple Endurance Mix with more water. As a general rule, never consume more than 800ml of any fluid, in any 1 hour.

Important: With nutritional training, 150ml of Perple Endurance Mix can be mixed with 450ml of water, to make a 600ml drink to be consumed every hour. Giving you 60g carbs per hour, but in a lower solution.

For the extreme: If you compete in ultra or extreme events you can take up to 200ml (80g carbs) of Perple Endurance Mix, added to 600ml of water, to make an 800ml drink, per hour. We advise that you train at these intake levels first before taking into a competition.

• Top Tip 1:Kidney urine excretion maxes out at 1.2l of water per hour, for experienced extreme athletes. For the rest of us, we advise drinking a maximum of 800ml per hour.
