Anyone else noticed how different the various versions of that yummy drink Lucozade Sport taste?
The stuff in the squeezy pouches is almost as vile as the concentrated liquid version you can buy to dilute yourself. But the sport powder's bearable - whilst the really top notch stuff is the vastly overpriced ready made up drink in the sports bottle thats too large too hold whilst running and too expensive to buy anyway. I reckon I could do a blindfolded taste test and tell you what container the drink came from.
Yes OK it is Sad when you start to become an expert on the stuff ....

Yuk! I can manage the orange one even though it has a strange aftertaste. The powder version DOES taste very different and I think its a bit gritty. The red one is truly terrible.
Tangerine Powerade is the best I've tasted although I have a (probably irrational) fear that anything made by the Coke people can't be good for me.
I have to admit to liking the taste tho'
Doesn't it make the road sticky in FLM tho'.
Of the new sports drinks I prefer Powerade but at home I use powdered Isostar before / after long run and dilute Robinsons Lemon Barley after short ones.
Not sure about the pinch of salt idea.
Lucozade has to be a lot better than that Liquid Power stuff they had in FLM 2001, I thought I would be very very sick if I had to drink any more of that stuff, yuk.
Isostar is nice, tastes good and it seems to work... Also doesn't hve nasty, sticky texture!

However at the moment - FREE with every tub of Lucozade Sport powder ( end of advert) is a water bottle with the words '33% LONGER' emblazoned on it. Funny co-incidence or what - but MrSS has started drinking the stuff...don't think it'll work...I'll let you know!!
I normally stick to Powerade while running (Blue or orange but not green)

Can't handle any thing fizzy while out running - I feel like I'm going to explode ;o)

I was very pleased when London Marathon changed to it from Liquid Power...
not that I got in last year. I do have a very sweet tooth though (although, so far, no
fillings to show for it). I tried Powerade but could bearly swallow it. Come to think,
I had the same reaction the first time I tried Liquid Power but developed quite a
taste for it after a few months.
I once bought a bottle of fizzy water to carry round with me on my run by mistake.
After twenty mins running I unscrewed the top and got such a violent eruption I
dropped the bottle in a river. I hope the fish were happy
