Customer Reviews of Chia Seeds - 3 Pounds (Rich in Omega 3's)
Customer Review: Chia for endurance sports
Summary: 5 Stars
I run ultra marathons. I was having some difficulty getting enough food/fuel into my body during races. I would find myself in the 7-8 hour range of a race and needing more food but unable to scarf down multiple gel packs; frankly you can only eat so many of those things. I consistently consume a gel pack every hour during a race. The gel packs typically have about 100-140 calories. During endurance sports you really need more like 250-400 calories per hour so gels plus sports beverages were not enough.
I've begun training with chia and seen an immediate change. For one, a tablespoon of chia has about 70 calories. I've replaced my gel packs for 5 tablespoons of chia per hour (350 calories). I can feel the higher level of energy about 10 minutes after taking the chia.
The other thing I've found with chia is that it provides my body with better hydration. Typically I drink 20oz of water per 6 miles. After using the chia I find 20 oz of water will last me a little over 10 miles.
To prepare the chia I mix 2 cups of water with 1/3 cup of chia. Let it set in the open air for about 20 minutes stirring periodicaly to make sure all the seeds get soaked. Then I put it in a tuperware and leave it in the fridge overnight (minimum 2 hours).
Overall, I'm very pleased with this little seed. I'll continue training with chia as I prep for upcoming races.
