10k Taster Box Guide
This guide is to accompany the 10k taster box that we've put together to help people who run or are working towards running a 10k race. Maybe you're looking for some help with your nutrition. This guide outlines what products are included and how they can be used. 10k is a good solid distance, taking most people about an hour to complete, whilst you should be able to complete one on your body's natural reserves you might benefit from some of our products. We've focused on products that give you a boost of short-term energy, refuelling before or after a race and helping your body recover.

Torq Energy Gel |
Why do I use this?The Torq Gel contains 30g of carbs, which keeps the body fuelled when training or racing. If you've not eaten a meal 2 hours before you go out you can have one of these to make sure your body has the energy it needs to operate. When do I use this?This gel is fast acting and easy to digest so you can take this just before you get out for a run or even as you're going. |

 Caffeine Bullet
|
Why do I use this?If you've had a snack but want to boost your energy for your run we've included some Caffeine Bullets. When do I use this?These are low-calorie high caffeine chews that can be taken 0-30 minutes before you go out and can really wake up your body to perform. |
  SIS GO + Caffeine
|
Why do I use this?Another product we've included is the Go + Caffeine Energy Gel. This is designed to be a fast-absorbing easily digestible carb + caffeine gel. You can use this if you've left it too late to digest any food and want an energy boost at the same time. This is like a combination of the two products above. When do I use this?This gel is fast acting and easy to digest so you can take this just before you get out for a run or even as you're going. |
  Clif Bloks
|
Why do I use this?Slightly different from a gel, these do the same thing but in chew form. Some people prefer taking energy like this so give these a go. They provide your body with the energy to perform. When do I use this?These are fast acting and you can chew as you go (or just before you go out). It is recommended you drink some water with these. |
 Clif Energy Bar
|
Why do I use this?It's recommended that you have a snack 1-2 hours before your run. If you're on the go or haven't prepared anything and want to take on some body-pleasing nutrients then this bar is designed just for that. When do I use this?Have just over an hour before you go out on a run and it should keep you ticking over. Alternatively, these are great anytime as a healthy snack. |
 High 5 Zero Tablets
|
Why do I use this?It's always good to keep hydrated water is perfect for this, but if you want some extra help we've included some High 5 Zero tablets in your box. The reason we take these tablets is that they help the body retain fluids and keep you topped up with the electrolytes it loses whilst running. When do I use this?You can take these before, during and after a run. Just pop one in your water bottle and drink as you would water. |
 SIS Rego Recovery Drink
|
Why do I use this?This stuff is magic. It replaces all of the electrolytes and minerals that your body has lost through exercise and gives the muscles the protein to help repair your muscles after your session. It should reduce any soreness you have as a result. When do I use this?Have a shake within 30 minutes of finishing your exercise to get the benefit. |
