Race day fuelling cheat sheet.
How to use the 13 endurance collection for peak performance
You’re not tired.
You’re under-fuelLed.
And whether you’re lining up for HYROX, a marathon, a cycle race, or a long training session, your performance will come down to one thing:
- How well you fuel.
The 13 Endurance Collection was built to remove guesswork and give you a simple, effective system:
Hydration → 13 Hydrating Electrolytes
Sustained energy → 13 CleanFuel
Performance → 13 Creatine
Fast race fuel → 13 Energy Squares
Here’s exactly how to use it.
24–48 hours before your race
build the foundation
This is where performance starts — not on race morning.
What to do:
Drink 3–4L water per day
Use 2–3 servings of 13 Hydrating Electrolytes daily
Add 1–2 servings of 13 CleanFuel
Why it matters:
You increase plasma volume (hydration status)
You top up glycogen (stored energy)
You prevent starting in a deficit
👉 Most athletes get this wrong by only focusing on race day.
Race morning (2–3 hours before)
start full, not chasing energy
What to do:
500–750ml water + 13 Hydrating Electrolytes
1 serving 13 CleanFuel
Light, easy-to-digest carb meal
Why it matters:
Stabilises blood glucose
Ensures hydration before the start
Reduces early fatigue
👉 You should feel light, hydrated, and ready — not full or sluggish.
30 minutes before start.
prime your energy systems
What to do:
1 × 13 Energy Square
Why it works:
~23g dual-source carbs (glucose + fructose + honey)
Uses multiple absorption pathways
Fast energy without gut stress
👉 This is your final top-up before the effort starts.
During the race.
this is where performance is won or lost
Most athletes wait too long to fuel.
Don’t.
Follow this structure:
every 15–20 minutes
→ sip 13 Hydrating Electrolytes
every 30–45 minutes
→ sip 13 CleanFuel
every 45–60 minutes
→ 1 × 13 Energy Square
Why this works:
Maintains steady blood glucose
Prevents energy crashes (“bonking”)
Replaces electrolytes lost in sweat
Keeps output consistent
👉 The goal is not spikes — it’s consistency.
Hydration targets.
simple and effective
500–750ml fluid per hour
Adjust for heat, intensity, and sweat rate
👉 Hydration is not optional — it directly impacts performance.
The golden rule
If you feel tired…
it’s already too late.
Fuel before the drop — not after.
Daily performance (don’t skip this)
Even outside race day:
Take 13 Creatine daily (5g)
Stay consistent with hydration
Why:
Supports ATP production (energy)
Improves strength and repeat efforts
Enhances recovery
Common mistakes to avoid
Only drinking water (no electrolytes)
Taking in too much sugar at once
Not fuelling early enough
Trying new products on race day
Underestimating hydration needs
The 13 endurance system
The difference between finishing strong and fading hard isn’t luck.
It’s structure.
13 Hydrating Electrolytes → hydration + performance
13 CleanFuel → sustained energy
13 Creatine → strength + output
13 Energy Squares → fast, race-ready fuel
Built for:
HYROX
Running
Cycling
Any endurance-based performance
Final word
You don’t rise to the level of your goals.
You fall to the level of your preparation.
Train with your nutrition.
Stick to the system.
Execute on race day.
