POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Not all electrolyte mixes are created equal. ⚡️

The VFuel difference? Different sodium levels for different needs.

With 230 mg, 470 mg, and 730 mg of sodium across our Hojicha, Ginger Twist, and Raspberry Lemonade Endurance Drink Mixes, you have options to help match your fueling strategy to your race.

Why does it matter? Sodium helps replace what you lose through sweat, and your needs can vary based on sweat rate, sweat sodium concentration, race duration, intensity, and weather conditions.

Too little may leave you struggling to keep up with your losses, while more isn’t always better. Knowing your personal sodium needs can help you build a smarter race-day hydration plan.

Know your numbers. Fuel with purpose. Race stronger.

The Sawatch Ascent 50k is one of the toughest races I’ve ever done so far. During the race I was wishing I had something to help me get up those climbs like some of the runners with trekking poles because that elevation is no joke. Thankfully around mile 7-8 I found a hiking stick that was just the perfect height. It kept me going and even on the times I had to run downhill it saved me quite a bit of times from falling. That stability was much needed even going down because there was a lot of technical spots on the trail. Also in the second clip that hill we ran down I knew we had to run back up at the very end of the race and it was gonna be painful so the hiking stick came in clutch especially for the last part to help me get up and push. It was brutal but it was equally as beautiful. I couldn’t help but take so many pictures and videos of the landscape. It was truly amazing. Going up to the highest point though had me feeling like I was on a pilgrimage especially with the hiking stick. It was a spiritual experience for me for sure. I loved every moment and am grateful for everyone who came to volunteer both days at the races. They were all so kind and willing to help out with whatever you needed. Shoutout to every runner for showing up and showing out. Shoutout to the bros @jtweez010 @henry.isom. and @tacocolorado for doing the 50/50. All you guys made it such a dope event. I’m also grateful for @vfuel because they kept me fueled especially with their endurance electrolyte mix I drank before my races and during. I felt strong with no stomach issues at all. Definitely recommend for an ultra. It was awesome to see all the runners from all over putting in the work, enjoying the moment together. I’m so thankful for @freestoneendurance. I seriously would have never been able to be apart of this great event without you all. Thank you. I would love to come back and know I’d be even stronger next year.

What is MCT oil and why is it in VFuel?

MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides, a type of fat that is digested and absorbed differently than many longer-chain fats.

So why put fat in an endurance gel?

Because we don’t believe fueling should rely on carbohydrates alone. MCTs provide another source of energy that can complement the carbohydrates in your fuel strategy.

VFuel uses a small amount of MCT oil in our gels to create a multi-source fueling approach. combining carbohydrates with MCTs to help provide energy from more than one pathway, particularly during longer efforts.

It’s not about replacing carbs. It’s about building a more complete endurance fuel.

Carbs + MCT oil. One gel. More than one way to fuel.

After a year filled with uncertainty, setbacks, and a lot of learning, I finally found myself standing on the start line of the Skyrunning World Championship in La Gomera.

The Skyrunning World Championship in La Gomera had been on my mind for a long time. A new island, new trails, new challenges, and the opportunity to race against some of the best mountain runners in the world. I knew it was going to push me in ways I hadn’t experienced before, and that was a big part of what made me so excited for it.

The road to La Gomera was anything but straightforward. I spent much of the season trying to work through what I thought was an injury in my calf, without really knowing what was going on. After months of managing it, I finally got a diagnosis in June: chronic exertional compartment syndrome.

After getting the diagnosis, I had two options: modify my activity and learn to deal with the pain, or have selective surgery to release the four compartments in my leg. Neither option was particularly appealing, but I knew I wanted to keep racing and see what I could do.

So, I started training back up in June with just three months to build toward the World Championships. Three months to rebuild my fitness, regain confidence in my body, and prepare for one of the biggest races of the year. It wasn’t the ideal build-up, but I was grateful to finally have some direction and a chance to work toward the start line.

There were plenty of questions leading into La Gomera about how my body would respond and whether I could actually put together the race I knew I was capable of.

Was it perfect? Not by any means.
But I’m incredibly proud of how I showed up.
I finished in 7:20, 13th overall and first American 🇺🇸.

There were moments when things went exactly as planned, moments when they absolutely did not, and plenty of time spent reminding myself to stay present, trust the work, and keep moving forward. (Continued in comments) taken in La Gomera, Islas Canarias by @vfuel

Maple Bacon. A gel flavor you don’t see coming. 🥓🍁

Sweet maple syrup meets smoky, savory bacon. Unexpected? Absolutely. But that’s exactly what makes it different.

During long runs or training, your taste buds can get tired of the same sweetness. Sometimes, you crave something salty. Something savory. Something that brings your appetite back.

That’s where Maple Bacon comes in.

A unique flavor for long miles, big efforts, and athletes who want something different.

You might hesitate to try it the first time. But once you do, don’t be surprised if you reach for it again.

Different flavor. Same purpose. Keep moving forward.

Available at VFuel.com and select running and outdoor retailers.
