Hi,
Just to say a big hello to everyone I'm a new member - and also I have a query.
I usually run approx 3 miles and drink water as I run. I thought I would follow online recipes for isotonic drinks which was 70g of sugar witha pinch of salt mixed into a litre of warm water with no sugar fruit juice. I went on my run today and did much better but I can't help thinking that I was practically drinking liquid sugar and hence probably burning off sugar and nothing else - also not sure how much of a placebo effect having an 'energy drink' is and whether your just really running faster because you brain is assuming your getting more energy.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Adrian.
