This is the drink I use for races and harder training runs. I drank 5.5 gallons of the original formula go juice at the [[2010 Keys 100]] as virtually my only fuel. The 5.5 gallons provided about 7,500 Calories and 500 grams of protein[[Protein]]. Read more about how this drink helps improve your training at [[Nutrient Timing]].
=Original Updated Formula=For shorter training runs, I don't include ve updated the BCAA or Glutamine formula a little, partly to save reduce costs, and occasionally partly because I find they upset my digestion, so I sometimes leave them outlike the test better. It also provides a lot more calories.
* 2x Scoops Gatorade powder (normal dilution)** An alternative is to use 1 scoop of Gatorade and the equal weight of 50g [[MaltodextrinProtein]], which is more easily absorbed and much cheaperPowder. I get mine at use [http://storego.honeyvillegrainfellrnr.com/maltodextrin50lb.aspx for less than $?id=35454X937677&xs=1 per pound&xcust=ProteinONW&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww. * 6x Tablespoons [[Protein]] Powderamazon. I like com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB000QSNYGI Optimum Nutrition 's Gold Standard 100% Whey Gold Standard], Vanilla Flavor. It mixes easily and gives the drink a smooth 'creme soda' flavor and texture.* Optional - 1x Tablespoons BCAA Powder (5g)50g Table sugar. Normal table sugar works well, proving the sweetness needed as well as [[Fructose]]. The combination of [[Maltodextrin]], Glucose and [[Fructose]] optimizes absorption. * Optional - 1x Teaspoon Glutamine Powder (5g)200g [[Maltodextrin]]

=Original Formula=
For shorter training runs, I don't include the BCAA or Glutamine to save costs, and occasionally I find they upset my digestion, so I sometimes leave them out. I'll also use my [[DIY Electrolyte Drink]] for conditions where hydration is more important than fueling.
