Run Further. Recover Faster.

Running is a high-impact discipline that rapidly depletes glycogen stores and places significant stress on joints and muscles. Our running protocol focuses on lightweight, isotonic energy for the road, and anti-inflammatory recovery for the rest days.

The Protocol

A Day in the Life.

Timing is everything. Here is how elite athletes structure their supplementation for running.

06:00AM

Top Up

Easily digestible carbs. Oats or banana.

Oats & Whey
IntraRun

Sustain

30-40g dual-source carbohydrates every hour

carbs
PostRun

Rehydrate

Replace fluid & salt losses immediately.

Electrolytes
NightPM

Adapt

Zinc & magnesium to support recovery

The Science

Aerobic Capacity

Running efficiency depends on oxygen delivery and fuel utilization. We optimise both.

Glycogen Sparing

Dual-source carbs (Dextrose:Fructose) maximize absorption to 90g/hr, sparing liver glycogen.

Blood Flow

Nitrates (from Beetroot extract) improve vasodilation, reducing the oxygen cost of running.

Joint Health

Collagen and Omega-3s support connective tissue against the repetitive impact of the road.

Aerobic Capacity
The Standard

Everything you need.
ToRun At Your Best.

A fast-absorbing carbohydrate source designed to deliver sustained energy during exercise. By using two absorption pathways, it allows greater carbohydrate uptake, helping maintain performance and delay fatigue in longer sessions.

Essential minerals (primarily sodium, potassium, and magnesium) that regulate hydration, muscle contraction, and nerve function. Replenishing electrolytes helps maintain fluid balance and reduces performance decline during prolonged or high-sweat training.

A patented blend of six functional mushrooms (including cordyceps and lion’s mane) formulated to support aerobic performance. Early research suggests it may improve oxygen utilisation and increase time to exhaustion.

Frequently Asked Questions

- Carbohydrates to fuel longer efforts and maintain pace - Electrolytes to support hydration and prevent performance decline - Caffeine to improve focus and reduce perceived effort - Nitrates (e.g. beetroot) to support endurance efficiency

For runs over ~60 minutes, consuming easily digestible carbohydrates beforehand can help maintain energy levels. Shorter runs may not require additional fueling, but hydration should still be prioritised. Heavy or high-fat meals close to running are generally avoided due to digestion speed.

Electrolytes become more important as duration, intensity, and sweat loss increase. For longer runs, hot conditions, or heavy sweaters, replacing sodium and other electrolytes can help maintain hydration and reduce performance decline.

Optimized for the Road

Endurance running demands a unique nutritional approach. Unlike lifting, digestion becomes difficult at high heart rates. Our running range uses isotonic formulations that clear the stomach quickly, helping reduce GI distress.

From the start line to the recovery shake, every product is tested on the track to deliver energy without the crash.
