Athletes of all abilities are encouraged to ingest more carbohydrates than ever to fuel their best possible performance.
Pure Sports Nutrition has acknowledged this and given us Race Energy Gels, which provide 38g of fast-acting carbohydrates to help delay fatigue, sustain output and support recovery.
Designed to be used pre-event and during competition, these 70g sachets include, among other things, 200mg of sodium to help balance electrolytes and improve hydration. There’s also a caffeinated version to help maintain focus – vital for top performance.
Like all Pure products, the Race Energy Gels get the balance just right for a strong ride and they taste great in both cola and lemon offerings.
Verdict
We’ve been digging the natural flavours of Pure for some time now, both in drinks and gels.
There is clearly a greater calorie intake from these gels than standard, but it remained easy on the gut and was fine for repeated intake over several hours.
The taste wasn’t quite as delicious as the original Pure gels, but there needs to be some give and take with this extra carb value!
It had the perfect viscosity for not spilling any or having to work too hard for it while pedalling.
We can absolutely recommend the Race Energy Gels for anyone who needs to fuel for longer.
