My Expertise with PreRace 3.0 – First Endurance

Does It Work?

Whereas the science behind PreRace 3.0 is fascinating, I needed to place it to the take a look at in a real-world setting to reply probably the most important query: does it work? The setting I selected for my take a look at was my common five-hour backcountry ski tour, whose familiarity, I believed, can be useful in figuring out what advantages PreRace was offering.  I usually eat 500-750 mL of EFS on my solution to the trailhead, and for this take a look at I merely added one scoop of PreRace 3.0 to that bottle. 

So far as outcomes, all I can say is, “WOW!”  I’ve had private expertise with all three variations of PreRace, and this one is a serious step ahead.  If the earlier variations of PreRace have been a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine, Pre Race 3.0 is a direct-injected V-8 with nitrous.  The sensation is that profound. About half-hour after consuming PreRace 3.0, I began to really feel an elevated psychological readability and observed that whereas I used to be shifting quicker with a better coronary heart charge, it felt straightforward. Exercising at race tempo sometimes requires important effort, however with PreRace 3.0, I felt like I might comfortably keep a coronary heart charge in zone 4-5, and the sensation continued all through the tour. On reflection, the one mistake I made was in my alternative of setting: these excursions sometimes contain 5 of us working collectively in zone 2-3, and it was all I might do to rein myself in and stick with the group. 

How I Use PreRace 3.0

Having used PreRace 3.0 for a while now, I’ve developed the next suggestions for maximizing the performance-enhancing results: 

1. PreRace 3.0 will not be a each day complement like MultiV-PRO, HALO, or Optygen HP. Quite, it ought to be saved for race and interval days, the place peak efficiency is required. For my private use on race day, I attempt to eat breakfast two or extra hours earlier than the beginning, and a bottle of EFS one hour later. Then, round 20 minutes earlier than the beginning, I drink one other bottle of EFS with one scoop of PreRace 3.0, adopted by a Liquid Shot on the beginning line. 

2. I discover that it’s best to combine PreRace 3.0 right into a smaller bottle of water or EFS, in order that it may be taken in a single fell swoop. Like earlier iterations of the product, PreRace 3.0 doesn’t style good; I liken it to an especially bitter medication with a faint aftertaste of cocoa. It’s properly described elsewhere, and First Endurance makes no apologies for the style of the product. 

3. As with all different new complement you add to your race day program, it’s finest to experiment with PreRace 3.0 beforehand. Given the quantity of caffeine within the components, PreRace 3.0 will probably heighten the sensation of anticipation on the beginning line, and it’s higher to know what to anticipate than to be stunned on the day of a goal occasion. For these whose common caffeine consumption is decrease, it is perhaps finest to start out with half a scoop of PreRace 3.0 and construct as much as a full scoop. 

Carbohydrate consumption is much more important when utilizing PreRace 3.0, particularly throughout longer endurance occasions. By making it simpler to carry out at greater output ranges, PreRace 3.0 will even result in a necessity for elevated carbohydrate consumption to maintain up with vitality calls for. With out enough carbohydrate help, efficiency will finally falter.
