2012 Hammer Sustained Energy 30 Servings (The Original Ultra Fuel)
One of the original long distance fuels, Sustained Energy has attained a legendary status in the world of endurance sports since its introduction in 1992. Tested and proven in virtually every endurance event on the planet, Sustained Energy's unique 7:1 carbohydrate to protein ratio, and it's neutral flavor, is still the first choice of thousands of athletes. After about two hours of exercise you need to have some protein in your fuel or you will start to cannibalize or break down precious muscle tissue. So when your exercise goes beyond the range of Hammer Gel or HEED alone, Sustained Energy is ready to serve you, providing premium fuel complemented with specific nutrients that support enhanced fat utilization and lactic acid buffering
Application:
- Use as a primary source of calories during exercise or competition lasting more than two hours.
Mixing/Usage Instructions:
You can mix and consume Sustained Energy three different ways depending on individual preference and logistical concerns. Please experiment with the following options to dtermine which works best for you.
-
The One-Hour-Bottle - Mix the suggested amount ot Sustained Energy for your bodyweight( see chart further down page) in a 21-24 ounce (approx 520-710ml) water bottle. Consume one bottle hourly. This method is dieal when training or racing withing with a cupport crew and vehicle. If you're without a support crew but still want to use this option for mixing, keep in mind that it's obviously less convenient as you'll have to stop more frequently to mix your fuel drink. Also, because you are trying to fulfill both hydration and caloric requirements form one source, you have limited ability to adjust one without affecting the other; you may need to consume additional water to satisfy hydration requirements.
- The Multi-Hour Bottle - This is by far the most convenient method of fueling because it allows you to be self-sufficient for many hours, requiring only additional plain water along the way. The only limitation is how many scoops you can fit into a bottle. Determine your proper hourly intake of scoops by experimenting with the numbers fomr the dosage chart toward the bottom the page. Let's say you've determined through testing that 2 scoops of Sustained Energy per hour is your ideal caloric intake and you need a 4-hour fuel supply. Multiply the number of scoops you need by the hours that you will be exercising(2 scoops x 4 hours) and place in a large bottle with as much water as will fit. you may need to add a few scoops at a time to get it all to mix well. Then take small sips every 15-20 minutes. In this concentration, the amount of water in the mixed bottle is minimal and, over the course of several hours, inconsequential; it should not factor in to your hourly fluid intake needs. To meet your hydration requirements, carry a second and possibly even a third bottle of plain water, or know where to refill along your route. Drink according to the temperature/humidity and your exertion level so that you consume 16-28 ounces(approx 475-830 ml) of plain water per hour. When using the multi-hour bottle, as long as you can obtain water along the way, you're set for hours of hard training racing.
Gel or Paste:
- If you want to carry the highest voume of calories in the least amount of space, this is your best option. Sustained Energy can be made into a super-concentrated, near past-like consistency and dispensed for a Hammer Gel Flask. Using a blender or bowl and spoon, mix scoops of powder with a small amount water, gradually adding water as necessary to create the consistency desired. Depending on how many scoops per hour you have determined you require, and based on how concentrated the mix is, each flask of Sustained Energy can supply you with 2-4 hours of fuel. As with the multi-hour bottle, you must carry additional bottles of plain water.
