Did Whorl outdoors today. After following nutrition advice from the last few podcasts, I found that when nutrition is right in an almost 2 hour endurance ride one feels sad when the interval timer reads 49mins to go. Everything just feels good and wishes for 1:49 to go. :-). Yep, I am 100% invest…

I agree! For the first time, I experimented and had a couple scratch chews during a 90 minute workout (Mary Austin -1) and I think it did actually reduce my RPE! I always fuel a lot before hitting a workout, but even so, just a little sugar an hour in was really nice!

Which podcast was it in? I must have missed it. Thanks

I buy walmart fruit gummies in bulk for this. :upside_down_face:(not kidding)

@DustyD I feel like they encourage us to take in nutrition during the ride in a lot of the podcasts. I was motivated by the one two weeks ago (I think it was 278) where they were talking about the importance of training your gut to tolerate nutrition while you are on the trainer so you can eat when…

That is genius @JustinDoesTriathlon ! I am going to try that, too!! I actually like the texture of gummy bears better.

Thanks for getting back to me. I also will have to give it a try. Should help out with the 1 1/2 hour rides.

Yeah it’s genuinely really funny how similar they are. Comparing the nutrition facts: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Original-Fruit-Smiles-0-9-Oz-50-Count/101358990 Amazon.com: CLIF BLOKS - Energy Chews - Strawberry- Non-GMO - Plant Based Food -... Buy CLIF BLOKS - Energy Chew…

I like the Scratch chews more than the Cliff bloks too. Especially the raspberry. I just always used to wait until I was full on hangry before eating them. Lol. I have to say the price of fruit gummies or gummy bears is much more appealing to me though! That is awesome. I actually kind of like…

I think it’s fun to give it try! I’m going to try regular gummy bears next! What are you gonna try to eat, @DustyD ? I really like the TR focus on performance over weight loss. When I ran a lot, I always felt like being lighter meant I wouldn’t get injured, but the older I got, I found I would ge…

I eat a lot of complex carbs in every meal so in theory I should always be well fuelled. Yet some rides I just dont feel right until ive had a few mouthfuls of haribo
