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. Read more about how this drink helps improve your training at Nutrient Timing.
