Flying Dutchman Sets a New World Record

Dutch middle-distance runner Andrew-Harris Larasen delivered a supremely impressive FLYCARB-fuelled performance at the European Masters Championships in Madeira. He stormed to victory in the men’s 800m, clocking 2:02.53 to claim the European title and break the M55 World Record.

The 800m is one of athletics’ toughest events, a demanding mix of speed and endurance that leaves every muscle burning. Holding form in the final stages takes strength, focus, and smart preparation.

How BICARRB Helped

To stay strong when it mattered most, Andrew used BICARRB, FLYCARB's sodium bicarbonate product designed to buffer lactic acid and delay fatigue. By reducing the effects of acid build-up, BICARRB helps athletes sustain their pace and finish strong.

“I always use BICARRB for my important races, whether that’s a World Record attempt or a Championship final. My go-to product is FLYCARB.”

Why Masters Athletes Use BICARRB

BICARRB works for everyone, not just those in their 20s. Many masters runners use sodium bicarbonate to train and race more effectively. As we get older, recovery takes a little longer and the ability to tolerate high-intensity efforts can fade. BICARRB helps counter that by making those sessions feel smoother and more controlled, allowing athletes to run faster for longer.

Whether it is a championship final, a local 5K, or a tough interval workout, BICARRB can give athletes at every level a small but meaningful edge.

BICARRB: It's backed by science, trusted by record breakers, and built for anyone who loves to push their limits.
