One of the main advantages of Slow Release Energy is that it slowly provides your muscles with energy. To take advantage of this, it is important to start fueling early to slowly fill your muscles during your ride or running session.

"We use Slow Release products in training sessions, for example, to lower lactate buildup and thus increase a runner's efficiency. During racing, Slow Release Energy products are used in the first 1 or 2 hours of a race when the intensity is quite low, to conserve muscle glycogen and increase fuel efficiency again. "
- Robert Gorgos, BORA - hansgrohe, chief nutritionist

How much should you consume?
If you use Slow Release Energy, you should aim for about 60 g of carbohydrates per hour. This can be a combination of the drinks, bars and gels. For example, you can drink 500 ml and take a bar every hour to get to 60 grams of carbohydrates.

Carbo-loading
Prior to an event or race, charge your muscles by taking Slow Release Energy 90 - 120 minutes before the start. This keeps your energy reserves filled for when you need them most.

High Intensity Exercise
There is an advantage to using Slow Release Energy even when you participate in short and intense workouts. But when you need energy fast (for example, during high intensity exercise), you should use fast release energy products to give you a quicker energy boost. If you participate in short and high intensity exercises, you can use Slow Release Energy in the 90-120 minutes before to provide your muscles with a constant energy supply. If you are doing an event or race, use than Slow Release Energy in an early phase, before switching to rapid release energy products during the final phase when intensity is higher.
