Accelerade Sports Drink

ACCELERADE is the first sports drink that maximizes the energy dynamic during exercise to improve performance and speed up recovery. Like conventional sports drinks, ACCELERADE supplies the necessary carbohydrates and electrolytes for rehydrating and replenishing spent muscles. But unlike conventional sports drinks, ACCELERADE contains the patented 4 to1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein to speed the movement of carefully balanced simple and complex carbohydrates into your muscles for rapid and sustained energy. ACCELERADE also contains essential antioxidants to reduce post-exercise muscle damage. Train longer and harder without feeling as sore afterwards.

Use of Accelerade in pre-race running
I am part of a 12 person relay team that runs from Mt. Hood, OR to Seaside, OR. I drank Accelerade powder that I mixed into my own water before each of my 3-5 mile legs of the relay. It was great tasting and satisfied my thirst, as I drank it during the race also. It was better than my previous sports drink, as I felt refreshed even during my run, had no problems with heat because it replaces electrolytes with sodium and potassium, and has not too high of a calorie count. Thank you and I will continue to use this product.

All day energy elixir
Accelerade enables me to go faster, venture further, and stay out longer. The only people I know who can keep up with me on long backcountry ski days and 6 hour mountain bike rides are those who also use Accelerade. Drink a mouthful every 15 minutes or so and you’ll be able to play hard all day. The taste is actually pretty good - considering this is a scientifically blended endurance drink, not Kool Aid. Tip: Accelerade is formulated for during exercise energy replenishment. For speedy recovery, I gulp a dose of Endurox R4 within 30 minutes of the end of exercising to aid in recovery so I’m ready to go the next day. If you see some gray-bearded old guy outlasting the young bucks at a kayaking play hole, it’s probably me, energized by Accelerade.

Accelerade for during and after excercise.
Accelerade was recommended by a friend who is a bike racer as a good boost during exercise and after for muscle recovery. I have searched the internet extensively and found that the price for the large container of Accelerade was priced better than almost all other sites. I think I actually bought one super cheap from BackcountryStore.com on sale. I was pretty amazed that BackcountryStore.com sold Accelerade but was pleased to find that there are other performance supplements also on your site. Thank You

Training Tips

If you consume 100 calories a day more than you need, you will gain about 10 pounds in a year. A reasonable combination of diet and exercise can help control your weight. The key is to balance your caloric intake with the amount of exercise.

You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.

Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.

As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
