Watford Win: Will Barnicoat Flies with a little help from BICARRB

On a toasty Saturday evening in Watford, Will Barnicoat, best known for his 5000m strength and multiple European Cross Country crowns, took on a shorter, and sharper 1500m on the track.

And boy did he deliver...

Will went from 8th to 1st with a huge 55 second last lap. Not only did that kick deliver a storming new PB of 3:40.02, but it also enabled him to take the win against a top class field. A performance that combined poise with pure finishing power.

It also marked Will’s first race using BICARRB, and the results spoke for themselves:

“I felt smooth through the early laps, and when I hit the bell I knew I still had a big kick left in me. After that last lap, BICARRB is definitely going to be staying as part of my race day routine.”

Will now heads to the European U23 Championships in Norway with serious momentum, and with BICARRB in his corner, something special could be coming.

BICARRB for Track Racing: The Bicarbonate Advantage from Sprints to Distance

Whether you’re racing onelaps or twenty-five, track running pushes your body to its limits. Muscle fatigue, lactic acid buildup, and a sharp drop in power output are familiar enemies. That’s where sodium bicarbonate, the active ingredient in BICARRB, can help.

Sodium bicarbonate helps buffer acid in the blood, delaying the muscle fatigue that normally shuts down performance in the final stages of a race. For track athletes, this means:

  • 400m runners can hold pace down the home straight
  • 800m runners can sustain intensity from the gun to the tape
  • 1500m athletes can stay smooth early and still have a kick at the bell
  • 5000m and 10,000m specialists can hold a high aerobic effort and still close hard in the final kilometre

Bicarbonate is proving its worth accross all distances in track racing and beyond.

Whether you're fighting for the win or chasing a PB, BICARRB helps you stay in control longer and finish with force.

Track is back. The margins are tight. BICARRB can be the difference.
