in the 90s I heard IM pros (like Baker and Molina) talk about carrying a small bottle of ‘rocket fuel’ for the very last K’s in the marathon. one of the ingredients of the, from memory, was either coca cola or sweet espresso boiled down into a thick syrup.
anyone know the full recipe for ‘rocket fuel’ ? or anyone have their own secret motion potion recipes to share ?
Red bull, water, and lime gatorade (either mix or bottled but *dilute *is the key.) It gets the job done.
Enervit Cheerpack with a Red Bull backer.
Go to CVS, Walgreens or any drug store. Get Bronkaid, Aspirin and Nodoze. Its on the WADA list btw, if you get tested you will be DQ’ed. Lots of stuff used in the past is now on WADA list. Did you know, even caffeine was on the list couple of years ago but I think they came to their senses.

There is no secret rocket fuel unless you want to step on the grey area. Eat well, sleep sleep sleep and sleep.
