One week to go. At this stage, the work is done. Now it’s about strategic tapering, quality sleep, glycogen loading — and recovery optimisation. Long endurance events create oxidative stress, deplete key nutrients, and increase muscular micro-damage. Supporting your body before race day can improve resilience. Supporting it after race day can accelerate repair. Our Glutamine add-on supports: 💪 Muscle recovery 💪 Gut integrity (often compromised during endurance events) 💪 Immune resilience 💪 Reduced muscle breakdown Race Strong. Recover Smart. 🔹And remember: If you drip before or after the race, you'll receive a FREE Glutamine add-on (worth R300) when you spend R850 or more. Simply show your race number to qualify. See you at the starting line — and in-store. 💧 Link in Bio *Valid until 15 March 2026. **WADA rules apply to professional athletes. #TheIVBar #CapeTownCycleTour #CyclingRecovery #IVTherapy #ABoostFromWithin

Being salty? That’s actually a good thing. It’s giving Elite energy. Electrolytes aren’t extra. They’re how your body keeps cool and keeps moving under load. When you train, your body heats up. Sweat is your coolant system. Sodium helps you hold onto fluid so that sweat can actually cool you down. No sodium = • Poor cooling • Rising heart rate • Flat legs • Brain switching to power-save mode What electrolytes do: • Help regulate body temperature • Keep muscles contracting properly • Keep nerves firing • Help carbs get absorbed and used, not stuck in your gut Carbs without electrolytes = fuel with no cooling system. Important bit: Everyone sweats differently. Some people glisten. Some people pour. Your mate’s plan is not your plan. Start here: 👉 300–600 mg sodium per hour • Light sweater = lower end • Heavy / salty sweater or hot SA days = higher end Carbs = fuel. Sodium = cooling + delivery. Bonk City ain’t a vibe. Stay salty. Stay cool. #cyclingnutrition #fuelingstrategy #cyclistlife #cycling #cyclingza
