Endurance Sports (e.g., Running, Cycling, Triathlon)
Endurance athletes can use Noogs alone or combine it with other sports nutrition products to meet recommended carbohydrate targets per hour during exercise. Needs vary by sport, pace, and conditions. Experiment during training to find what works best.
- Sessions under 60 minutes: enjoy 1-2 servings of Noogs about 10-15 minutes before your workout for a quick energy boost. Additional fueling during the workout is usually not needed unless it extends beyond an hour.
- Sessions under 2.5 hours: aim for 40-60 g carbs per hour (≈ 2-3 servings of Noogs per hour). Combine Noogs with other carbohydrate sources if preferred.
- Sessions 2-5+ hours: aim for 60-90+ g carbs per hour (≈ 3-5 servings per hour). To reach the high end (≥90 g/h), many athletes mix sources (e.g., Noogs + gels + sports drink). Higher intakes can support performance but can be harder to tolerate, so practice fueling and train your gut well before competition.
Stop-and-Go Sports (e.g., Soccer, Basketball, Pickleball)
- Before: enjoy 1-2 servings of Noogs about 10-15 minutes before training or competition for a quick energy boost.
- During: aim for 30-60 g carbs per hour (≈ 1.5-3 servings) across breaks and timeouts.
