I ran a marathon on Saturday February 28, 2009 - Caves Marathon Oudtshoorn and used H3O Pro, a product of Herbalife for the first time in a full marathon.
I ran 4h09 minutes which is about 20 minutes faster than my Winelands Marathon result in November 2008 and about 45 minutes faster than the disastrous run in Benoni in January 2009. In the Benoni run, I did not carbo load, nor did I drink any supplements in the race. I almost crashed out of the race after 21km which was just over 2 hours. I managed to hang on, but the Coke and water was not good.
For the Cango marathon, I did carboload drinking about 1.3 liter of Energade Megaload over the two and a half days prior to the race (of course diluted). I picked up two kg as a result of that - was about 89 the day before the race. The evening before the race I consumed some ligth meat snacks and a slice of bread. The morning of the race I had a light (two spoons)cookies and cream herbalife shake mixed with water and two scoops of niteworks (another Herbalife product).
During the race I consumed about four sachets of the H3O which I mixed in a water bottle that I carried with me. I felt great throughout the race. The half marathon mark was at about 2h01 minutes which gave a second half of 2h07.
My mind was clear throughout the race. Normally when I would be drinking GU (which I have now taken out of my diet), I would switch to Coke at about 30 km or so - got tired of the GU. I took the H3O without a problem the whole period.
My legs are good two days after the race. I feel sharp and ready for the next long one. It truly is a remarkable product.
This was not my best time for this marathon, but this is the best I have felt after a long run in a long time.
On a more technical note ... The H30 Pro Isotonic drink is based on Isomatulose sugars, which is naturally derived from honey, thereby not producing energy highs and lows, or produce any damaging health effects, and produces a slower more constant energy release than glucose. It's also ... http://www.tri247.com/article_4343_New+and+innovative+H3O+Pro+isotonic+drink+launched+by+Herbalife.html?region_id=&category=nutrition
