Shotz Sports Nutrition keeping you energised and hydrated for the Otway Odyssey MTB Marathon
Jason English – 24 Hour Solo MTB World Champion gives his
advice on nutrition for the Otway Odyssey. My nutrition strategy
for the Otway Odyssey:““I use a 3 litre hydration pack with 6
Shotz electrolyte tabs. I don’t use a carbohydrate powder or
sugary sports drink in my hydration pack. I hate stuff growing
in my bladder. I used to rely on sangers and gels during 100km
races but I love the Shotz Energy Gels and have got used
to using them more and can often get by just with them.
