How should I carry my INFINIT?

A How you carry your nutrition really comes down to personal preference! The easiest and most foolproof way to fuel is to do “one hour bottles,” but we understand that some might find that cumbersome. So for easier carrying, you can opt to concentrate your bottles instead. Here are the two methods broken down: Normal: the easiest and most foolproof way to keep a handle on your intake is to mix one serving in a bottle and drink one bottle each hour. You will need to either carry (or stage) multiple bottles or carry additional powder to remix bottles after each hour. Make sure that if your bottle is not 20-24 ounces that you take in additional plain water from a different bottle or water fountain. Concentrate: You can concentrate your bottle(s) and put multiple hours of nutrition in a bottle. Just make sure that you still are only drinking one serving per hour. Example: You mix 4 servings (8 scoops) in one 24 oz bottle. Divide your bottle in fourths and make sure to only drink 1/4 of the bottle each hour. This method will provide you 6 oz of fluid from each serving of INFINIT so make sure to drink 14-18 oz of additional plain water from another source per hour (hydration backpack, aid stations, water fountain, etc.). It’s recommended that you consume both your concentrate and quickly follow that with water to ensure the end solution in your gut remains isotonic. - 1 hour bottle = 2 scoops - 2 hour bottle = 4 scoops. Divide your water bottle in half. Drink half of your bottle each hour with additional water. - 3 hour bottle = 6 scoops. Divide your water bottle in thirds. Drink a third of your bottle each hour with additional water. Make sure that you practice whichever method you would like to use during racing, to make sure you are able to keep up with the correct consumption rate on the big day. Still have questions?

What is the biggest mistake that you see athletes make when it comes to sports nutrition?

A Easy — Athletes tend to think that “more is better.” While this may (or may not) be correct when it comes to training volumes, it's the wrong thing to do when it comes to sports nutrition. Too much nutrition leads to the majority of common problems: Bloating, gastric distress, cramping, nausea, etc. Your body is an amazing instrument and will perform better if you fuel it right, but don’t overload it.

How much should I be drinking?

A While we suggest drinking one serving of INFINIT in 20-24 oz of water, this may not be enough fluid to meet your personal needs, especially if you have a heavy sweat rate. Hydration is a huge component that determines how well the body can perform. Studies have shown that if you lose 2-3% of your body weight in water loss, you will also lose 5-15% of your watts (power output). If you are not drinking enough water, no matter how perfect your formulation is, you might be in for a long day. Our best recommendation: DO A SWEAT RATE TEST! Your hydration target will vary somewhat depending on the heat and humidity, but knowing your average hourly sweat rate is a crucial component to a good nutrition strategy. Need assistance with determining your hydration needs or analyzing your sweat rate test results? Connect with an INFINIT Registered Dietitian for personalized tips and recommendations.

What is the real cost of INFINIT compared to other products?

A: Let’s break it down in a simple way for a 5 hour ride: Method #1: “The old-school pocket full of stuff” - 5 bottles of a sports drink @ $1.99 = $9.95 - total of 700 calories, 1350mg sodium and 0g protein - 3 gels @ $1.50 (some gels upwards of $3.50 each!) = $4.50 - total of 300 calories, 180 mg of sodium and 0g protein - 1 bar @ $1.59 - total of 250 calories, 140 mg of sodium and 9g of protein TOTALS: - $16.04 / 5 hrs = $3.21 per hour - 1,250 calories / 5 hrs = 250 calories per hour - 1,670 mg of sodium / 5 hrs = 334 mg per hour - 9g of protein / 5 hrs = 1.8 grams per hour While this method can certainly work, it is very difficult to keep your gut consistent (and happy) throughout a long day. Many times athletes will do too much and find their gut will shut down. Other times they may not do enough and have that dreaded bonk. Then, there is that "trying to get down a bar in 90-degree heat, after 4+ hours in the saddle.” There’s nothing quite like the enjoyment of chewing on the same dry bite for 20 minutes... We’ve all been there. In any case, not only will you have to keep track of all of the various components of method #1, but YOU MUST CARRY WATER to wash all of it down. Remember, if you drink a sports drink on top of a bar or gel, you are going to end up with a thick sludge in your gut. This will NOT be processed quickly. Your body then has to go into digestive mode to dilute the sludge in order to get it to pass, thus pulling water and energy from places it shouldn't. Water needs to be used to keep your body cool and muscles working properly, while the energy should be used to make your body move. This digestive process will cause you to become dehydrated and decrease performance. Method #2: 5 bottles of INFINIT Go Far @ $2.39 per bottle (per hour) = $11.95 Totals: - $11.95 (25**% LESS** than gels, bars, sports drinks, salt pills, etc.) - 1,400 calories / 5 hrs = 280 calories per hour (MORE calories) - 1895 mg of sodium / 5 hrs = 379 mg sodium per hour (11% MORE sodium PLUSpotassium, calcium, and magnesium) - 20g of protein / 5 hrs = 4 g per hour (122% MORE protein) So, next time that you think INFINIT is more expensive, remember this: - – INFINIT provides an all-in-one delivery system with the option to custom-blend for what YOU want - More calories in an isotonic form guarantees to give you zero GI problems - Enough electrolytes to throw away that pocket full of salt pills - Enough protein to keep you from getting hungry all day long - All of this and you actually save 25% https://youtu.be/I-6NoyR-_CY Still have questions?

What is the biggest mistake you see people make during training?

Q What is the biggest mistake you see people make during training? A Not practicing their nutrition plan enough before the big race day or competition. Consistently practicing the same fueling plan that you intend on sticking to on your big day will not only give you more confidence going in, but also allows you to work out any potential issues. Research also shows that the gut is trainable. Meaning you can actually train the gut to tolerate and be able to process more calories each hour, but it needs to be practiced and conditioned ahead of time. Still have questions?

How quickly after a workout should I eat or drink something?

Q How quickly after a workout should I eat or drink something? A Research indicates that you should start recovering within 30-60 minutes after a workout to see the most results and to ensure your body has recovered for the next training session. This period of time is often referred to as the “anabolic window,” when your body is primed for recovery. Providing your body protein quickly after a workout ensures the muscles don’t remain in a state of breakdown (catabolic) and have the necessary nutrients to rebuild. Taking in nutrition during this window is especially important if you are an endurance athlete, you workout twice a day, have a workout less than 24 hours from the workout you just finished, or if you are actively trying to gain lean muscle mass.

Do you sell any gels or other products?

Q Do you sell any gels or other products? A INFINIT does not sell a complicated system of nutrition products like chews, salt pills, or bars. We believe in simple all-in-one liquid nutrition. We do have a unique concentrated fuel shot mix called Tempo, that is like INFINIT’s take on a gel. Designed for heavy/salty sweaters and those prone to muscle cramping, each serving is 100 calories with over 500 mg of total electrolytes, thereby eliminating the need for ANY salt pills, tabs, licks, etc. Still have questions?

How much protein do I need after a workout?

Q How much protein do I need after a workout? A Research indicates that 15-20 grams of protein post workout should be sufficient for most athletes to start the necessary muscle recovery process after workouts. This amount may be higher for certain individuals who have more lean body mass and/or are specifically trying to gain (vs. maintain) lean muscle mass. Still have questions? We’re here to help.
