Matthew,
Only you can determine if you should stay on or not. There are no negative side-effects to doing so and there is no clinical research showing that consistent use causes any kind of tolerance. Ancient Chinese Medicine, which is where much of…

Dean,
Oxygenation of the blood, VO2, lactate threshold are all secondary mechanism of Optygen. The primary mechanism is its ability to modulate stress and keep your cortisol (stress hormone) within a normal range. When stressed, liked times of hard…
Dean,
Great question. The 6 tablets is only a loading recommendation for the first seven days. Following the loading phase you move to the 3 capsules per day dose. You remain on 6 capsules per day for as long as needed, which should be as long as yo…

Adrienne,
Though you can certainly have just EFS drink and EFS liquid shot with no apparent GI issues our recommendation is to stick to your 'regular morning diet' with just some minor modifications. Try and reduce or eliminate gluten and spread the…

A Tale of Five Electrolytes
by Jeff Rocco MD
If you are reading this you are probably an endurance athlete looking to improve your training and performance. You may recall from high school science class that electrolytes are dissolved mineral salts contained in our body fluid–both inside and outside our cells. It is not our focus here to review in depth all of the cellular biology related to electrolyte homeostasis. The enlightened athlete needs to know where electrolytes go when they are lost, what the symptoms are when… Continue

- Hey Robert-
How do we lowly age groupers score First Endurance Apparel? :o)
Have been seeing it on some of the Team FE blogs.
We would love to get our hands on some jerseys or shorts to help advertise/endorse the products.
Linda-Ann Newsome...the other half of "Team Newsome" :o)

- Hey Robert - your sodium loading protocol worked! No cramping in my last race! The race prior I forgot to add extra sodium to my during race drink, and I think that made a difference. I can't taste my food with all that sodium, but it's worth it to not be in pain! Thanks so much!!

Thanks for putting me on the feature!!! I really appreciate that!!! The more exposure the better... I' am working on my ideas for the team page and will be getting to that and my nutrition/race report from Rage here shortly. I have also decided to go with two of the guys from the newly formed Team FEE to race 'the worlds toughest half' in auburn, ca. coming up here at the end of may just before IM CDA... I am going to go for a run at Steve Larsens bike course record ;)
Let me know what you think we can do to my page to make it better... AJ is on the team and has one other outstanding athlete to bring aboard from the Salt Lake area. This is going to be very good for the team!!!!
5 guys will be down racing in St. George this weekend, we will get some pic's and a group shot with everyone for the team page. Sweet!!!
Ride On!

Joanna Zeiger said… - Hey there. Just did NO 70.3 Luckily, stomach was good. On the bad side, melted down in the heat. Dizzy for the entire run. Needed 2 bags of fluid after the race.

- Thanks for your info on sodium loading, Robert! I haven't had a chance to try it yet, as I'm in taper mode for my first race. I'll try it for a hard training session when our weather gets warmer here. Another snow storm today - uggg! Looking forward to testing out the protocol and I'll for sure let you know how it goes. Thanks for your concern!
Cheers!
Pam
