Bicarb 🆚 Super shoes 🤺

Sometimes talking about performance benefits in % can feel pretty abstract…

So we compared bicarb to carbon racing shoes for a fun little benefit-cost comparison 💰

When the Nike Vaporfly 4% first burst onto the scene, the marketing was spot on. But in reality, most carbon shoes have been shown to deliver around 2–3% improvement.

That’s actually pretty comparable to bicarb 🥣

⏫ 2.7% improvement for events up to ~5km
⏫ 1.4% for longer efforts

So… how does the value for money compare?

With bicarb, it’s simple:
🥣 One portion of BICARRB = £5 per race

With shoes:
👟 £250 per pair (ISH!)
👟 100–200 km of racing KMs before they drop off! That’s roughly 20–40 5km races per pair

We ran the numbers for fun…

Cost per 1% performance gain:

BICARRB: ~£1.85 per 1% (based on 2.7%)
Super shoes: ~£2.08–£6.25 per 1%

👉 Even under generous assumptions for shoes, BICARRB comes out as better value per % gained

Super shoes changed the game. But if you’re thinking about performance per pound, call on BICARRB 🥣

Track is back: don't get left behind 👀

2025 felt that the year, where bicarb went from an advantage, to something you needed to stay competitive.

Last year we saw FLYCARB properly explode onto the scene for our first track season, and by our estimate fuel over 2000 PBs in the European track season.

The science says it works, the results speak from themselves.

See you on the track!

Will BICARRB improve my marathon time? 🥣

We get asked this a lot. The short answer: yes ✅

There’s a growing body of research showing bicarbonate can deliver meaningful performance gains in longer endurance events.

The buffering effect is smaller than in shorter races (1.5% rather than 3%) ~ but 1.5% of a marathon is 2-4 minutes (depending on your time).

🧂But it’s not just about buffering.

Bicarb is also a big source of sodium. Staying on top of sodium is key for hydration and avoiding cramps, especially in the heat, but traditional sodium loading is hard work.

With BICARRB, you’re getting 4–5g of sodium in a few spoonfuls of our magic gloop 🥣 For a lot of our ultra athletes, that’s become an invaluable secondary benefit.

So will BICARRB redefine your marathon? Probably not.

Could it make you a few minutes faster and help you avoid race-ruining cramps? Quite possibly.

Our view: with , you can take bicarb without the stomach issues, which makes those marginal gains well worth chasing on race day.

Fern Gardner | FLYCARB Athlete 🥣

Fern Gardner is one of the UK’s leading Elite 15 HYROX Doubles athletes and a consistent presence at the sharp end of international competition.

She holds personal bests of
✅ Elite Doubles: 56:44
✅ Mixed Doubles: 53:32

Fern delivered an outstanding 6th place at the Pro Doubles World Championships last year, and recently finished in an impressive 11th place at the EMEA Championships, despite a costly time penalty that masked just how competitive her performance really was! 😤

That result has only sharpened her focus ahead of the HYROX Warsaw Major, the final Major of the 2025 to 2026 season and the last opportunity to secure qualification for the HYROX World Championships 🎯

With qualification spots still on the line, the racing promises to be intense, and Fern is ready to take on the world’s best 🔥

HYROX is one of the most demanding formats in sport for repeated high intensity efforts under fatigue 🥵

Fern uses BICARRB because its buffering support helps her sustain power across stations, manage rising acidity through the back half of the race, and stay competitive when the pace lifts late in competition 💥
