“I love fueling with XRCEL during my training and racing. I am able to have that “extra gear” during racing because of the extended release glucose micro-gels. The great fueling I had during this race really showed during my record-breaking run. XRCEL truly keeps you going and going when others start to slow.”
This is my second season using XRCEL and I am SOLD. I completed Ironman Lake Placid in 2015 using another brand of liquid nutrition–the typical carb/electrolyte powder mixed with water–and completely shut down at mile 90 on the bike. I couldn’t…take…another…sip…I was bloated, nauseated, and had that “sloshy” feeling from all of the volume. I use XRCEL now as my main source of calories with some supplementation in between and have essentially eliminated this issue. Last week at Ironman Florida 70.3, I PR’d my bike AND ran the entire 13.1 miles (even all the hills on 10th Street!) on fresh legs. The combination of immediate and delayed release carbs is the best product on the market for triathlete nutrition, and I would encourage all athletes to try it!
When I stepped up to 70.3 and IM distance events I had problems with nutrition. I could not eat solid foods while racing. Also, too many GU’s and gels gave me heartburn and GI issues. I learned how many calories I needed to cover these longer distances. I just had to find a product that worked for me. I tried XRCEL and knew that my problem was solved. I use XRCEL to supplement my liquid calories. By timing my nutrition, I know exactly how to energize my race. I take XRCEL on a timing interval. What I like about XRCEL is taking it properly gives me constant energy without any lulls. All I do is take XRCEL and know that my fuel for my races is constant. My racing has improved because I am more consistent. I race the way I train. When I don’t use XRCEL while training I feel the difference. I bonk or just don’t perform at a high level. It is good to be humbled during training, but come race day I want to perform. XRCEL is constant for me, no more guessing on race day. XRCEL has made me reach to my potential.
I am able to get all of my planned nutrition in during a race, and I do not have to worry about having GI issues thanks to XRCEL’s ability to release fuel as my body needs it. For me, it’s simply the ability to stomach about 10 bottles of XRCEL over the course of nine hours, without vomiting on the side of the run course! I don’t get sick of the taste and they don’t upset my stomach. I am always winning with XRCEL as my fuel!
I have been using XRCEL for the last two years. Being able to take a bottle of XRCEL with you anywhere and know you have sustained energy available anytime. I use it at work late in the day when the energy is getting low and know I have training workout later that day. With XRCEL I know there will be no sugar high or crash a few hours later. That’s huge for any athlete to know! No one wants to hit the wall in the middle of a workout. With XRCEL that won’t happen. XRCEL has proven to be exactly what I need to get to the podium. With XRCEL in my nutrition plan I reached to top step on the podium at Ironman70.3 Atlantic City. Which got me a spot at Ironman 70.3 Worlds in September 2017
Having an optimal nutrition plan is critical to successful performance. Don’t limit yourself only to race nutrition. Think also about your fueling during training and recovery. If you can train harder and recover faster because of what you’re putting in your body, then you’ll get faster, it’s that simple. In a race situation, if you can take in more calories, or absorb more of the calories you’re taking in then you’ll have more energy during the race. That’s where a superior nutrition product like XRCEL Athlete Fuel can help. Because you’ll absorb more of the right fuel and calories when using XRCEL, versus conventional sports drinks or gels, you’ll have more energy to spend on the course.
We’re not saying it’s the only reason, but the Battery have been performing better with XRCEL.
I have used it now 3 times- all during high intensity Olympic weight training sessions. They usually last 1.5 to 2 hours. I don’t know if it’s this stuff, or if I’m just getting stronger, but in the 3 times I have taken XRCEL, I haven’t missed a single lift. I typically have 2 or 3 misses at a minimum. I thought the Orange was the easiest to take. I definitely felt like I could have kept going. Today I had a tough workout after playing this morning. Normally that’s a struggle for me. Today I felt like I could go another hour. I think this is a great product.
I can say that I have tried many supplements throughout my officiating career. Not only is XRCEL easy to drink and has great flavor but the effects of it are lasting. There are plenty of times that when I am hitting the 70th minute of a match and climbing over the 6.5 mile mark that I have caught myself digging, but when I take the XRCEL it prolongs my fitness to levels I have not been able to achieve before. I used to take 5 hour energy or a Red Bull before a match and you could feel your energy levels dwindle much earlier on in a match. XRCEL is made to keep your endurance and awareness at the highest levels throughout the entire 90+ minutes.
I have been using this XRCEL the last couple days and have really enjoyed this product. So far I take it just before I start playing and after I kind of push thru the first wall of exhaustion I really notice this feeling that allows me to run a little bit more freely. It allows you to kind of push thru the walls of exhaustion during the game in a mental and physical way. Then once I push through that wall where I start getting a little fatigued, it is almost as if I find this new energy source to keep pushing forward. I noticed this around the last 10-15 minutes of the game. All the flavors have been good, the liquid isn’t too thick and goes down easily, both warm and cold.
“XRCEL has allowed me to permanently refrain from using caffeinated energy drinks, which I have depended upon throughout my career to maintain energy levels, all the while providing me with more than enough fuel/energy to fly through my trainings and games!”
"As an Athletic Trainer, it is important that I have a product that I am confident in and that the athletes will use. I found XRCEL gives my athletes the energy boosts they need to sustain a higher level of competition and training and is also easier and more convenient for them to use than other products.”
Just a short note to tell you that I’ve found XRCEL to do what you (and the research) said it would do. Our players have expressed that they feel that they are able to sustain effort for longer periods of time before fatiguing. We have tried other products in the past without having the type of results we are getting from our use of XRCEL. I look forward to continuing our use and to the success it has helped us achieve to this point.
At the beginning of the school year your company had sent us some samples of the XRCEL shots and they worked amazingly!! The sport using the XRCEL is Basketball girls and boys with many frequent crampers. Good news is that i have had ZERO cramps and we are in need of more! 🙂
I do like the XRCEL product. I have used it on a hand full of guys for basketball games and practice. They seem to feel more energized late in practice and games.
