Everyone’s different when it comes to fueling choices but I don’t understand the fear of fueling a workout. I take gels whenever I know I’ll need one. When the ride or workout had a duration of 2 hours or more I know that I need to take in carbs to perform the way that I want to. Shorter duration high intensity efforts as well. Sometimes I will avoid gels or drink mixes entirely and rely on solid food choices or nothing. When I start using gels etc it’s like rocket power. Don’t believe the marketing hype though, research yourself and find what works for you. There’s no shortage of fueling information on the TR podcast and you’re only going to hear the same thing, fuel the workout.
