Carbo Pro: The value of proper sports nutrition

I highly recommend Carbo Pro if you need extra fuel to sustain yourself during those longer workouts.I was first introduced to Carbo Pro at Running Free. It is sold in the sports nutrition section in either a large tub, or a smaller re-sealable bag (which turned out to be extremely valuable in travelling to races – think airport security and luggage size limitations!).I like to think of Carbo Pro as a supplement to Gatorade. It packs extra caloric punch (50grams provides 200 calories) which is often a necessity during longer training rides and races. It is made up of glucose polymers which can be easily absorbed by the body. I have used it over the past 6 months as I trained for Ironman with only positive results – sustained energy during cycling. It can be used a supplement to your sports beverage without even noticing that it was mixed in (no sweet taste or flavouring). This is particularly beneficial in cases where you want a sports beverage to help fuel your workout, but you don’t want that super-concentrated sweet taste.
