Sprint training relies heavily on the anaerobic glycolytic system, which rapidly depletes muscle glycogen during short, intense efforts. Consuming 30-45g of carbohydrates 30-90 minutes before training provides sufficient readily available fuel without causing GI issues during explosive efforts. For this reason, we've included Impact Pre-Workout, Pre-Workout Gummies, and THE Pre-Workout in your preferred stack—these convenient pre-session formats are designed to be consumed before training, helping you establish a consistent pre-run routine.

For sprint training, we recommend Origin Intra Workout, THE Energy Gel, and THE Electrofuel. These portable formats are designed for easy consumption during activity without interrupting your rhythm. Whilst sprint sessions are typically short (< 90 min) with significant recovery periods, a small amount of carbohydrates (20-30g/hour) can help maintain blood glucose levels and delay fatigue during longer or more intense sessions. Carbohydrate-electrolyte solutions contribute to the maintenance of endurance performance during prolonged endurance exercise¹, making these products valuable as your training progresses.

Sprinting places high mechanical stress on muscles, making post-workout nutrition an important recovery component. Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass², making it essential for muscle repair and maintaining a favorable power-to-weight ratio. We've selected All-In-One Recovery, Clear Vegan Protein, and THE Recovery for your preferred stack because they provide convenient post-workout formats that can be consumed quickly after training. These products are specifically formulated for recovery timing, allowing you to meet your protein needs within the optimal 30-60 minute post-session window.

Sprinters typically need 20-30g carbohydrate per hour during the session. This intake supports glycogen stores and maintains performance during prolonged effort. Sodium requirements average 300-500mg/hour to replace sweat losses in moderate conditions. Scale up in heat or if you're a heavy sweater. Use a combination of products to meet targets comfortably.

Powder formats excel for sprint fuelling due to their versatility and rapid absorption. They allow precise dosing and hydration control pre-workout and during the session. Your stack includes convenient powders for pre-race loading (Impact Pre-Workout) and mid-session fuelling (Origin Intra Workout). Choose based on timing needs.

Race-day nutrition is only part of the bigger picture. How you fuel before and after sprint running makes a huge difference to your training and recovery.
