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.

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.
