Nutrition FAQ
Which sports nutrition brands do you carry?
Maurten, GU, Spring Energy, Skratch Labs, Tailwind, Nuun, Zym, Honey Stinger, Hammer Nutrition, Huma, Untapped, Clif Bloks, Base, SaltStick, Ketone-IQ and more.
How many gels do I need for a half marathon?
Many runners take one gel about every 30 to 45 minutes after the first 45 minutes. Practice your plan on long training runs before race day.
How many carbohydrates should I take per hour?
Many endurance athletes aim for 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrate per hour, and some train their gut to handle up to 90 grams on long events. Start lower and build up in training.
What is the difference between gels and chews?
Gels are quick to take and digest fast. Chews let you eat in smaller bites over a few minutes. Both deliver carbohydrate for energy, so choose what your stomach prefers.
Do I need electrolytes in Charleston summer heat?
Yes, for most runs and rides over an hour in heat and humidity. Electrolyte tablets, drink mixes or salt chews replace the sodium you lose in sweat.
What is Maurten?
Maurten makes hydrogel drink mixes and gels that many runners find easy on the stomach. We carry Maurten Gel 100, Gel 160 and Drink Mix 160 and 320, including caffeinated versions.
Do you sell caffeinated gels?
Yes. We carry caffeinated options from Maurten, GU and Nuun. Try caffeine in training first, since it affects every athlete differently.
What should I eat after a long run or ride?
Have carbohydrates and some protein within an hour. Recovery mixes like Tailwind Recovery, Hammer Recoverite and Endurox R4 make that easy.
Can I buy single servings to test?
Yes. Many gels, chews and drink mixes are sold as single servings, so you can test flavors and brands before race day.
