5-10 min Sprint, things I can take?

Gatorade just makes me thirsty as fuck.

Shit is salty as a fat man's nuts after a workout.

You would know how a fat mans nuts taste like.

I'm trying to run as many laps as I can for 5 minutes. I'm trying to find a bunch of stuff I can consume in order to do more laps by sprinting and never slowing down for the whole thing.

So far I got a few things:
Cocaine Energy Drink (1 can) for caffeine for the crazy amount of energy
Gatorade (1 bottle) for electrolytes (does Gatorade hydrate you? Or will I need water?)
Creatine for a fast energy source for my muscles.

Anything else?

Well from my personal experience, I wouldn't have the energy drink, you can try glucose tablets but those are pretty expensive. Gatorade is fine as long as you consume water with it, It provides electrolytes as well as a bit of an energy kick(Sugar). I don't think creatine is necessary because it's for more gym work and secondly stores more water in your muscles, in turn increases size.

If you're looking for an alternative I would Eat pasta or something high in carbs the night before, that will usually provide a good stable source of energy to keep you going for a short time.

You can also work on training your ATP levels and recovery rate.

Gatorade is good because it has electrolytes and sugars, but its not the best for hydrating. Always have water to drink. Havent tried the Perform or Recover Gatorades though, So I couldnt tell you

I used to use this stuff, call Gu energy. Its a little packet of gel, 100 calories but its got a ton of good stuff for you. Take one before you run, and like every hour or something. Only problem is it tastes like Poseidon's salty ballsack and feels like a surly man just blew a load down your throat

Try Powerade instead of Gatorade.

Power includes the chlorocarbon sucralose which causes dehydration and breakdown of the cells in long term use.
@Vice-Versa You will build better sprinting endurance involving HIIT rather than a five minute sprint. Try doing patriots, go to a football field and sprint to the first five yard marker and then jog back, then sprint to the ten yard marker and jog back. Do that until you do the entire field. Then rest for five minutes and do the same thing but back to the beginning.

For a supplement, be sure to be taking your multi, fish oil, and you are eating GOOD carbs. I saw someone posted "pizza, bread, etc", do NOT load up on bad carbs. Brown rice, whole wheat (or better, Eziekel) bread, etc are the carbs you want. Do NOT load up, eat enough to make you feel full, but if you overfill you won't be able to run for as long of a period of time.

Get a preworkout nitric oxide supplement. It will provide fast acting energy for you to use during your workout and will allow you to increase your workout time.

What's your best record in sprinting @Vice-Versa ?

[Euphemistic]

Don't eat white bread.

the only thing you will need is oxygen.

You only need water. That's it.

Caffeinated drinks are a big no no. It would ruin your sleep. Some sports drinks contain a good amount of salt. Some contain some sugar. If it contains a good amount of salt, you should drink water as it dilutes the salt from your body. Correct me if I'm wrong about this, I haven't researched. Also if you drink something that has a lot of sugar you should take it easy. A single coke has about 40g of sugar, not exactly sure. I've heard that's more than what you should have in a day. So... Drink gatorade in moderation if it does contain sugar...

Not lookin for long time results, just looking on getting max laps in 5 minutes (school test).

Oh yea, Coconut water is good and healthy alternative to the sporty drinks. It has fewer calories, less sodium and tons of potassium.

How long are each laps you are planning to run on?

Just take a pre-workout supplement like 1MR or N.O. Xplode.

Would it be safe to take them both along with all the other stuff I'm taking?
