Follow the Fuelling & Recovery Systems

If you’ve landed on this page, it’s because your commitment to indoor training requires you to follow a fuelling and recovery strategy in order to get the most out of your performance.

The frequency, intensity and duration of the indoor training sessions you’re doing will require you to fuel your performance, because you won’t have sufficient stored carbohydrate in your liver and muscles to complete your schedule. Relying on your diet alone (stored carbohydrate) to provide the energy to complete your exercise sessions will mean that you will both underperform, hamper your fitness progression and weaken your immunity, making you more vulnerable to infection.

The TORQ Fuelling System was devised to provide clear guidelines on how to fuel effectively and it really is very straight forward. The video below explains how you can combine TORQ’s fuelling products to create a useful and effective fuelling regimen. Aim to consume 2-3 TORQ Units per hour and as the video demonstrates, because perspiration rates are likely to be quite high indoors, you are likely to lean more heavily towards TORQ Energy Drink than TORQ Gels, Bars or Chews. At the same time however, don’t think for a moment that just because you’re cycling indoors you don’t need to fuel as diligently as if you were performing outdoors. All of TORQ’s fuelling products are relevant.

On the TORQ Fuelling System page, we also talk about our ‘Easy as 1-2-3’ concept. Although 2-3 TORQ Units per hour is optimal, there are still benefits to be gained from only consuming 1 Unit, so please take the time to investigate further to establish what would work best for you.

Due to the nature of the exercise sessions you’re doing, your carbohydrate stores (glycogen) can be hit quite hard. More intense, frequent and prolonged exercise will all make a dent into your carbohydrate stores and these stores need replenishing. Also, the nature of the level of exercise you’re doing will break down muscle fibres and cause fatigue, so you should consume TORQ Recovery Drink immediately after exercise to replenish these stores and facilitate the repair process.

The video below explains how the TORQ Recovery System works, why you need to address your recovery and explains how TORQ’s products along with your overall nutrition facilitates this process. Interestingly, following the TORQ Fuelling System is the first element of the TORQ Recovery System. You should consume TORQ Recovery Drink immediately after exercise and ensure that you are getting the correct nutrients from your overall diet. If you advance your fitness significantly, you could consider using TORQ Recovery Plus+ to help you get to the next level.
