I started an experiment a couple weeks ago based on an actual lab experiment – sugar water vs ubiquitous sports drink. I’ve been taking in anywhere from 75-100g/hr of liquid carbs and the effects are astounding. I know, “Duh!”, but going from thinking I was fueling with enough carbs to actually fuel…

I don’t. Did long Z2s last summer 100% fasted/non-carbed up. This year I do the first 90-120min of Z2 fasted, start ingesting carbs after that. I’m on Wk2 of a mini Polarized block…with only 2 hard days a week my yummy carb intake is shockingly low. Tom Bell = :+1:

Yep, me too. I ride 4h fasted under aerobic threshold and taking on anything mid ride is a recipe for disaster. EDIT: Should add, higher intensity stuff is always fueled; didn’t used to be for years, but finally learned my lesson.

I get a bit shaky and motivation tanks…strange, but it’s always been like that (cafe stops are a nightmare). I’m very slow twitch and could be something to do with a change in metabolic activity once some CHO is thrown at type 1 fibers.

Im guessing that it’s just the body chasing the cheap/easy fuel rather than having to work a bit harder for the expensive stuff.

@BABEboSS I do the same as @Marko27 I hit about 80gm of oats with a banana and some sugar of coarse before my Saturday ride which is is usually around 90-100km (56 - 63miles) at a 34km/h (21m/h) pace

What body type are you mostly? Mesomorph, Endomorph or Ectomorph ? No-one is truly all of one type, personally I’m probably 70% Endomorph, 20% Mesomorph, 10% Ectomorph which physically resembles tree trunk muscley legs, tooth pick arms, and a barrel chest with a belly. Fat sticks to me like shit …

Here is a fun test on this [image] Body Types: How to Exercise and Eat for Your Body Are you an ectomorph, mesomorph, or endomorph body type? Learn your body type so you can customize your exercise and nutrition for the results you want! ENDOMORPH: 13% MESOM…

Can i just clarify something… I recently bought a big pack of Dextrose/Maltodextrin 50:50, a pack of Fructose and some electrolyte powder in order to make some of my own fueling drink. I mixed it roughly 30:15:1 into a smaller container for storage. Is this mix suitable for 1-1:30 trainer session…

I always experience this too, and forces an uncomfortable 15mins or to have to ride out.
