How we help you

1. Tell us about yourself and your race. Email [email protected] and answer the questions below. You don't need to have a complete energy plan to contact us.
2. We will develop your energy plan. We will base it on your answers and come back with follow-up questions if we need to know more or if anything is missing.
3. We put together a customized energy package. Products, portion sizes and the distribution between drinks, gels and solid products are adapted to the plan and your wishes.

This is what we need to know

Copy the questions into an email or use the email button below. Answer as best you can – approximate information is sufficient when you do not have exact numbers. NOTE: If you do not want to answer any of the questions, just leave that field blank.

• About you: Are you male or female? Approximately how much do you weigh and how tall are you?
• Race: Which race are you going to do?
• Distance: How long is the race?
• Estimated time: How long do you expect the race to take?
• Previous races: Have you run similar races before? Which races were they and what times did you get?
• Previous energy plan: How have you eaten and drunk during previous races, if you have completed any?
• Carbohydrates per hour: Do you usually have a goal for your intake, such as 40, 60 or 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour? Enter your usual goal, or write that you don't know.
• What you usually eat: What products or foods do you use during races? How much of your energy usually comes from drinks, gels, or solid products? An approximate distribution is enough.
• Sweating: Do you tend to sweat a lot?
• Brands: Which energy brands do you prefer?
• Allergies and special diets: Do you have any allergies or special diets that we need to take into account?
• Stomach: Do you usually have stomach problems during training or races? Please describe what happens and when the problems usually occur.

Is this your first race? Write it down! Feel free to tell us what you usually eat and drink during your training sessions instead. You don't need to know your carbohydrate intake per hour to get help.

We ask for the information so that we can put together an energy plan that is as customized as possible. If anything is missing or needs clarification, we will get back to you with additional questions.

An energy package that follows your plan

Once the energy plan is developed, we put together a tailored energy package. We start with the amount of energy the plan covers, the formats you prefer, and the products you are used to.

It can be a combination of sports drinks, gels and solid products. We take into account your preferences regarding brands, allergies, special diets and previous experiences of what your stomach can handle.

Try the plan during training. Use the products and amounts in training sessions before the race, preferably in similar conditions. Let us know if something isn't working, so we can discuss what needs to be adjusted.
