Hello, I have a question regarding the relationship between glycogen-optimization and fat-burning optimization over 18+ week training plan. From my understanding, how you fuel your training over an 18-week plan will determine your best metabolic pathways during an event. Also, I understand that tra…

[image] Un-QuittingBikes: Extended VO2 efforts scattered throughout a 5 hour event will probably slow you down overall. Not always an option. Especially on 15% plus climbs that last for over a mile. Trust me… I would be a above threshold if I didn’t have to do so.

[image] DarthShivious: tracking developments in the microbiome / personalized diet I did a test. Interesting, but your microbiome changes all the time. So, unless you get a test several times a year, to see how it changes overtime with what you eat… not very helpful. And… marginally if you do…

[image] Dr_Alex_Harrison: Even chronically low-carb folks can handle 90g/hr, in the vast majority of cases and I suspect up to maybe 100g/hr. Just need to nail sugar ratios to close 1:1 gluc:fruc. How do you achieve this without massive GI issues: gas, diarrhea, etc. post ride? Also, how do …

[image] Richard_Williams: Just trying to figure logistics of 100+ carbs an hour One bottle with carbs and one with water? Carbs can be really concentrated, make small sips and flush with water. No problem with 200-300g of carbs this way.

[image] Richard_Williams: How do you achieve this without massive GI issues: gas, diarrhea, etc. post ride? Optimal sugar ratios and hydration throughout. Must hydrate to meet carb consumption rates. Must consume high sodium tor retain fluids consumed and not get hyponatremic. Target 1:1 g…

[image] Dr_Alex_Harrison: How I do it: Saving Money as an Endurance Athlete Thank you for the tip on saving money. Do you mix the sodium with the glucose/frutose in the same bottle.

Yes. Front bottle = carbs + sodium + water Back bottle = water only

Needed to buy new water bottles last year and I got color coded: blue top = water only black top = electrolytes (if eating food) or carbs+electrolytes
