In our fourth and final Thunder Run post, ahead of the event this coming weekend, we want to talk to you about Hydration. 

In our penultimate article on the subject of this year’s Continental Thunder Run, we want to talk to you about the TORQ Fuelling System and nutrition in general and how to get the strategy correct for the event. 

As an athlete or physically active ‘competitive’ person, are you in the slightest bit confused as to whether you should be consuming a diet rich in carbohydrate, or restricting carbohydrate intake and leaning more towards fat and protein as your major nutrient sources? 

In our previous Conti Thunder Run related article, we shared a PDF document with you to provide some insight into preparing and fuelling yourselves for the event. 

We’re proud to announce (and in case you didn’t know) that we are the official performance nutrition sponsors for this year’s Continental Thunder Run.

As TORQ are supporting the Activity Wales Long Course Weekend they’ve kindly extended a 10% discount to TORQ customers if signed up before 11am on 9th June. 

With the launch of our new Watermelon flavoured Hypotonic drink this year, we’ve put together a short 60-second video to help explain why our 2:1 Glucose Derivatives:Fructose Hypotonic drink formulation will hydrate you faster and more comprehensively than water or a carbohydrate-free Electrolyte Tablet. 

Our Limited Edition Summer Shandy gels, formulated in collaboration with the wonderful people at Adnams brewery of Southwold, have been produced and are in our warehouse awaiting dispatch to the many corners of the world. 

Our TORQ in your Sleep event grows every year and for 2017 there will be a step change in the way the event is presented, with a bigger and more spectacular atmosphere than ever in the main arena. 

Fuel your Valentine’s sporting passion, by providing them with a beautifully presented premium TORQ gift. 

The annual CORE Bike Show for the cycle trade opens this Sunday and we’re excited to be launching our brand new naturally flavoured Watermelon Hypotonic hydration drink.
