🍯 Fuel Smart with @HoneyStinger
This past weekend, I fueled my long ride with Honey Stinger Gels and Waffles—and it was a game-changer.
Recommended Use:
✔ 2 gels + 1 waffle per hour of intense training
✔ Pair with water or electrolyte drink for optimal absorption
✔ Waffles work great pre-workout or mid-ride/run for quick carbs
💦 Electrolyte Support: SaltStick & Salis
Electrolytes
🧂 SaltStick Chews
Perfect for on-the-go electrolyte replacement.
- Take 1–2 tablets every 30–45 minutes during hot workouts
- Helps maintain muscle function and reduces cramping risk
🧪 Salis Electrolyte Capsules
Slow-release capsules designed for endurance athletes
- Take 1 capsule 30–45 min before training, then 1 every hour
- Great for long bricks, Ironman prep, and athletes with high sweat rates
Hydration is not just water—it’s electrolytes and fuel working together. Get in the habit now!
