❗️ Let’s get controversial! ❗️

For many years carbohydrate fueling targets during exercise have been set at around 90g per hour for endurance exercise. But recently, a paper was published in elite mountain marathon runners who pushed the limits and hit more aggressive targets of 120g of carbohydrate per hour, while running hard! 

I’ve seen many age-group athletes boast about how they’ve hit this target or are trying to achieve this in their own training. But because I want you to have all the facts, I’ve dedicated this episode to explaining why this might not be the best idea for YOU.

In this episode, I explain the research paper, the methodology, athlete characteristics and the findings with my Advanced Sports Dietitian critical thinking cap on. 

I also take things one step further by explaining the practicalities of how this research could be applied to you, and why this is probably a mistake for many age-group triathletes.  

Tune in for a different perspective and unbiased opinion on what’s the best way to fuel well and perform at your best as a triathlete.
