Get some maltodextrin powder (long chain carbohydrate) from a home brew supplier.So, getting close to 3 months of zone 2 and hoping that I've remodeled my mitochondria. Then I read that sugar is a mitochondrial toxin. Does that mean drinking sports drinks (Gatorade) on my runs is messing with the gains? I bring about 10oz on my long (+13 mile ) runs.
ps I know there might be better options, but I bought a big can of powdered Gatorade that will last months....I guess I'll just dilute it more.
Mix with water and flavor with a little watermelon juice - or whatever flavor…
Gatorade is poison.
Whatever you do, DO NOT BUY CarboPro. That is unless you want to pay 50x the price you can get the same sh!t from a home brew supplier.
I got kicked off of a triathlon forum for pointing out that CarboPro - a brand of pure maltodextrin - power was selling their sh!t at about 50 times the price you could buy maltodextrin by the pound from any home brew supplier. Turned out CarboPro was a sponsor of the forum.
I wouldn’t shut up about regardless and got banned.
