Why Neversecond Is the Smartest Fuel for Hyrox and Hybrid Athletes

The Unique Demands of HYROX (and Why Most Fuels Fall Short)

HYROX isn’t a straight run, a pure lift session, or a long steady endurance event. It’s all of them—on repeat. You surge through eight 1K runs punctuated by high-output functional stations. That means your fuel has to deliver fast energy without gut problems, hydration without slosh and support repeat surges with minimal transition friction. Many products are lifestyle snacks in disguise: too much fat or fiber, arbitrary sodium, inconsistent carb amounts, and textures that are hard to manage at high respiration. Neversecond is different. It’s purpose-built for athletes in motion.

Our System: Simple Math, Precise Control and Repeatable Results

Neversecond’s platform centers on 30g carbohydrate units (C-Series) using a 2:1 glucose-to-fructose blend for high uptake rates. Sodium lands in clean 200mg increments—the same step size used in our drinks and our S200 Sodium Booster—so Hyrox athletes can match sweat losses without guesswork. All products are Informed Sport tested and designed with isotonic, pH-neutral profiles and smooth textures for quick intake, even when your heart rate is spiking.

Product 1: C30 Energy Gel — Rapid Energy Without the Slosh

When you’re breathing hard, chewing is slow and fluids can feel heavy. C30 Energy Gel delivers 30g of fast carbs in an isotonic format that’s easy to swallow at race intensity. The 2:1 blend supports high carb absorption while helping minimize GI distress. Practical Hyrox use cases:

Pre-start top-off (10–15 minutes out): One gel to begin primed at ~30g.
Mid-race micro-doses: One gel between stations 3–6 to keep blood glucose steady for sleds, burpees, and wall balls.
Long workouts or doubles: Stack gels every ~20–30 minutes to hold 60–90 g/h without over-drinking.

Product 2: C30 Sports Drink — Clean Carbs + Precisely Dosed Electrolytes

For athletes who prefer to sip their carbs, C30 Sports Drink provides 30g carbs per standard mix with measured sodium for efficient hydration. Because it’s pH-neutral and low in flavor intensity (unflavored option available), you can keep it going when mouthfeel gets tricky. Practical Hyrox usage cases:

Warm-up bottle: Arrive at the start topped off with carbs and sodium without feeling heavy.
Between stations: A quick swig maintains energy and fluid balance without stopping your flow.
Sweat rate match: Easily scale volume to your needs (e.g., 250–500 ml across the event).

Product 3: S200 Sodium Booster — Personalize Hydration in 200mg Increments

Sweat sodium varies widely; generic “one-size” salts often miss the mark. S200 Sodium Booster solves this with 200mg of sodium per capful of trisodium citrate—the same source used in our drink mixes—allowing precise personalization without the sharp “salty” bite of table salt. Practical Hyrox use cases:

Heat or heavy sweaters: Add 200–400 mg to a C30 bottle pre-race or mid-session.
Cramp-prone athletes: Fine-tune sodium to match your sweat testing or experience.
Low-volume strategy: When you can’t drink much, increase sodium concentration precisely rather than chugging extra fluid.

Product 4: C30 Fuel Bar — Compact, Low-Fiber Solid Fuel That Actually Works Mid-Intensity

Traditional bars are often sticky, high in fiber/fat, and hard to chew when breathing hard. C30 Fuel Bar is small, smooth-textured, low in fat, fiber, and protein, and delivers a clean 30g block of carbs for pre-event or lower-intensity training. Practical Hyrox use cases:

90–120 minutes pre-race: One bar as a controlled carb preload without GI baggage.
Brick/engine days: Combine with drink mix for 60–90 g/h in longer sessions.
Travel days: Reliable, compliant fuel that won’t derail your gut before competition.

Product 5: C90 High-Carb Mix — Strategic Carbs for Long Sessions & Back-to-Backs

While most HYROX races run ~60–90 minutes, your training may include longer engines, doubles, or conditioning blocks where higher hourly carb targets pay off. C90 High-Carb Mix (per serving) streamlines 90g of carbs into one bottle—ideal when you want maximum energy with minimal handling. Practical Hyrox usage cases:

Long conditioning or doubles: Sustain 90 g/h without juggling multiple items.
Tight logistics: One bottle, one plan, fewer transitions.

Recovery Mix — Faster Rebuild, Better Next Session

HYROX progress depends on quality sessions stacked close together. A Neversecond P30 Recovery Mix (carbs + protein) accelerates glycogen replenishment and muscle repair so tomorrow’s training isn’t a write-off. Practical Hyrox use cases:

Post-race or key workout: Within 30–60 minutes to kick-start recovery.
Travel-proof routine: Easy to mix in a shaker anywhere, any time.

How Much Carbohydrate Should Hyrox Athletes Target?

Most hybrids perform best between 60–90g of carbohydrate per hour depending on body mass, intensity, and gut training. Neversecond’s 30 g increments make the math easy:

60 g/h: 1 C30 gel + 1 C30 drink per hour
90 g/h: 1 C90 bottle per hour or 3 × C30 units (any mix of gel/drink/bar)
Practice this in training to build GI tolerance and lock in your personal sweet spot.

Sodium: The “Performance Multiplier” Most Athletes Under-Dose

Hydration isn’t just water. Sodium supports fluid retention, nerve firing, and muscle contraction—crucial when you’re red-lining through wall balls after a hard 1K. Start with 200–600 mg sodium per hour in temperate conditions and go higher in heat or if you’re a salty sweater. With S200, you adjust in clean 200mg increments, avoiding the “all or nothing” trap of salt tabs or generic mixes.

Practical HYROX Fueling Blueprint (Train This Before You Race)

24–48 Hours Out: Emphasize carb-forward meals and fluids; keep fiber/fat moderate.
2–3 Hours Pre-Start: Light, carb-centric meal. Add a C30 Fuel Bar if you need a tidy top-off.
15 Minutes Pre-Start: 1 × C30 Energy Gel (30 g). Sip C30 Sports Drink with S200 if needed.
During Race (~60–90 min):
- Aim 60–90 g carbs total via C30 gels/drink or C90 (for longer sessions).
- Small sips between stations; no chugging.
- If hot or cramp-prone, add 200–400 mg sodium via S200 to the bottle.
Immediately Post: Recovery Mix within 30–60 min, then a balanced meal.

Why Neversecond Beats “Close Enough” Nutrition for Hyrox

Modular, Measurable, and Mobile: 30g carb blocks + 200mg sodium increments = zero guesswork.
Engineered for Intensity: Isotonic gels and pH-neutral drinks go down easy when breathing hard.
Consistent Across Products: Same carb logic, same sodium logic—interchangeable building blocks.
Banned-Substance Tested: Informed Sport certification supports athlete confidence on competition day.
Texture & Taste Designed for Effort: Smooth bars, clean-tasting drinks, and gels that don’t fight you mid-rep.

The Bottom Line: Plan It. Practice It. Perfect It.

Hyrox rewards athletes who can repeat power under fatigue—and that starts with repeatable fueling. Neversecond’s science-first system eliminates guesswork with precise 30 g carbs and 200 mg sodium increments so you can design a plan, train your gut, and execute under pressure. Whether you lean on C30 Energy Gels, C30 Sports Drink, C30 Fuel Bars, S200 Sodium Booster, C90 High-Carb Mix, or a Recovery Mix post-race, every product clicks into the same simple math. That’s why Neversecond may be the best fuel for Hyrox—because hybrid competition demands hybrid-smart nutrition.
