Great advice except for point 5.
Carbs are fantastic, eat them.
- sasawpg 4y agoCan't upvote this enough. Carbs are king for endurance, though I tend to drink most of mine as I find it easier.
- iamacyborg 4y agoI find more liquid gels are nice and palatable during runs. SIS ones are nice in that respect
- sasawpg 4y agoFor gels, I do maple syrup, which usually comes with a pinch of salt. I will also add 50-100g+ carbs per 750mL bottle. I find it hard to chew solids when biking at anything higher than low Z2, it actually increases my heart rate a bit.
- rojeee 4y agoJust to clarify. I eat carbs! Just not refined carbs or sugars, and only on days I need to replenish glycogen or make sure I’m topped up. Get most of my intake from super starch, fruit or vegetables. I don’t eat pasta or bread.
- iamacyborg 4y agoThere’s absolutely nothing wrong with refined carbs though. Sugar is good, take some during long runs and hard training sessions to aid recovery. It’s also absolutely necessary as a fuel source during long races.
