Best energy drink?

[Hill Wimp]

Pro's have a top diet & still need energy drinks. Once I get past half way riding a sportive or running a marathon I switch from water to isotonics.

How can you say avoid them when they stop you from bonking in endurance events. Probably because you're all just a bunch of know it all MAMILS who have never raced in any sporting events in any kind of respectable times.

Fueling with a decent product can make or break your race result.

Hang on the OP is not a pro and said he wakes up like a zombie so needs something to get going ?????????????? getting up is not an endurance event !

I just use sis powder with water doesn't do me any harm not for any reason but it was on offer at Evans for the massive tubs when I first wanted some liked it so stuck to it. Had other ones when a fuel stops or sportives and the like they all seem pretty much alike

True I only skim read it.

Don't drink energy drinks for that issue, have a look at your breakfast & overall nutrition & maybe see a doctor as you could have an iron deficiency problem.

Some days it can be - I have to get up at 5 on Wednesday for a work day trip, may need porridge, coffee and jelly babies!

I like the Haribo ones, they are smaller, more in a handful

Is that at sportives being equated to a race?

Sounds like you need the caffeine based energy drinks to get you going and then some carb based drinks to keep you going so you don’t bonk.
