Hi All This is a question where there is too much info available and you end up just being confused. I am doing an FTP Builder program on TR. I am trying to take training a bit more seriously so looking into fuelling during my indoor training and immediately after it. When possible, I try to get…

gummie bears, cherries, worms, etc. Put SOMETHING in there while working out. If you have a computer that can track calories, then 100 cal of gummies/sugar for every 200 cal burned.

Not mid ride, throughout the ride. A fairly even carb intake throughout the ride is best. You have some individual limit in terms of grams/hr. It makes no sense to only utilize your ability to fuel,for half the ride. You are basically dumping in sugar to spare glycogen. You are also signaling your b…

I agree with fueling the work! During hard workouts (Sweet Spot and above), I always have some carb mix in my bottles. For those 60-90 minute workouts, I’m usually aiming a bit lower (~90g/hour) than I might for longer rides (100+), but taking in more will help train your body to digest carbohydrat…

This is great…simple and easy to follow. Thank. you :slight_smile:

Ok, this makes sense. I did a sportive recently (80 miles and 5500ft of short sharp climbing). Half way through I had the option of either continue to fuel but risk a very bad stomach or to continue de-fuelled but keeping my stomach happy. I realised my stomach has a very limited ability to take …

Great, I definitely think I am under fuelling for indoor rides. I will have a go at using a carb mix for the rides mentioned in my question and see how I get on…both in terms of performance on the bike and leg recovery the next day. Thanks for your help :slight_smile:

Thank you The consensus is definitely I should be fuelling. I use sweets on longer outdoor rides but right now with the heat in England, I will stick to a carb mix in my water as it’s hot as hell right now

Sounds like good advice. I do sometimes have an energy bar near me but it’s not a proper habit as of yet. But I can easily incorporate that into my prep routine just in case. Thank you :slight_smile:
