Back to Kokoda Challenge Fuel Guide
Our preferred fuel source is Liquid.
- Liquids are easily digestible. Solids will take longer to digest and will take blood away from the working muscles to digest.
- By taking liquids you can be almost 100% certain of how many calories you are consuming per hour.
- Taking solids you can never be sure on how many calories are being digested per hour.
- Consumption of too many solids can make you feel lethargic and slow you down.
- Hammer Perpetuem is ideal for this purpose ( See website for Mixing Instructions)
Perpetuem is a powder which is mixed into a drink.
We recommend Perpetuem be used for a minimum of 70-80% + of your fuel needs.
BENEFITS OF PERPETUEM
Perpetuem contains all the right ingredients (Complex Carbohydrates, Soy Protein and Lipids)
- It is scientifically designed for Endurance exercise lasting longer than 3 hours and up to 2-3 days.
- Perpetuem gives you very stable energy levels over a long period of time without the highs and lows.
- This is exactly what your body needs over this duration. It does not give you the spikes in energy given by simple sugars.
- Perpetuem contains complex carbohydrates, Soy protein and Lipids (type of fat).
- The complex carbohydrates give the consistent stable energy supply
- The soy will help your body stop breaking down its own muscle tissue.
