Five days to go until the Richmond Marathon which means it’s time to begin the four day loading cycle of Hammer Nutrition’s Race Day Boost.
I’ve used the endurance-prolonging Race Day Boost many times in the past and am convinced it does exactly what it says on the web site:
Hammer Nutrition claim RDB will:
(a) Prolong endurance
(b) Increase performance time at anaerobic threshold
(c) Provide unsurpassed lactic acid buffering and
(d) Help boost glycogen storage
An extra benefit of the product is that 2000 mg of glutamine daily, the amount provided in four servings (one day’s loading dose) of Race Day Boost, has been shown to elevate plasma growth hormone levels, a definite benefit while tapering for an event.
Technical info from the Hammer Nutrition web site:
Race Day Boost contains one of the most potent legal ergogenics available for competition. In the most extensive study to date on Race Day Boost’s key ingredient, fit cyclists, in a 40K time trial, netted a whopping 8% improvement in performance time! The simple formula belies its profound effectiveness, aiding in increased cellular energy production and buffering performance-robbing lactic acid. A four-day loading dose of Race Day Boost prior to a key race can make a noticeable improvement in your performance.
I’ve found the best way to take Race Day Boost is to dissolve the powder in 3 to 4 ounces of warm water and drink as fast as possible. FYI, if you use a cold/cool liquid the powder tends to “clump” and is a bit more difficult to swallow.
