Find out what Tiffany Lau, recreational cyclist and content creator, has to say about her favourite isotonic drink and how it plays an important part in her cycling journey.
How do you feel when you drink 100PLUS Active after a gruelling workout?
Tiffany: 100PLUS always makes me feel so refreshed after a hard ride, because Singapore's weather is so hot. So a cold 100PLUS after a ride makes me feel so good.
How important is it to stay hydrated as an athlete?
Tiffany: With Singapore's weather, it's constantly so hot and being on the bike it's important to stay hydrated all the time whether it's an easy or tough ride. So 100PLUS allows me to always stay hydrated on my rides.
What is your hydration regime?
Tiffany: Usually I will drink sips before I ride to the meeting point. Then during the rides I will drink 100PLUS as well. Maybe mid ride if it's a tough ride I will just top up my 100PLUS at 7-Eleven or any other drink store.
How do the B Vitamins and carbohydrates in 100PLUS Active help in your training?
Tiffany: It definitely helps because when you ride you sweat so much and you definitely your carbs to give you energy, so always stay hydrated so you won't get loss of energy when you're riding.
How does drinking 100PLUS Active differ from just drinking water?
Tiffany: Compared to drinking water it ensures I don't get dehydrated because I'm sweating so much I'm losing so much water and salt and everything. 100PLUS allows me to replenish and gives me enough energy to finish my ride.
What are some hydration tips for cyclists?
Tiffany: Always refuel and always drink while on the bike. Don't forget about hydration. I think that's very important.
