Building Up! Getting the Work Done in the Heat and Humidity with FuelRodz Endurance

[@JustinDoesTriathlon]

Thank you for giving FuelRodz a shot! Definitely appreciated your feedback along the way. It was a very long process and seeing people enjoy it is still extremely exciting for me. Cheers! 😀

These look really interesting, trying to get Tailwind into a flask is always a mess. Any plans on having a UK stockist ?

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks for the chance to try them out!!! My next order will be delivered today👏

I really like the idea of the "rods" instead of powder. I am wondering, though, what the carbs come from (like maltodextrin maybe?). I checked out the website, and didn't see that info.

[@JustinDoesTriathlon]

@@86bench Yep! That's exactly where the inspo came from. Basically 5 years ago, I thought, "Man, powder works great for nutrition, but the actual usability of it suuuuuucks. What if they were just solid sticks?" And here we are. Re: International: That's our top priority. Canada first, then EU. We actually just launched last week, so loooooots still on the Now/Soon/Later To do! It's been a labor of love so I greatly appreciate the positive thoughts. :)

[@JustinDoesTriathlon]

@@ropersix You got it! It's sucrose and maltodextrin, combined at a ratio of 1:0.8 glucose to fructose.

Man! For some reason I stopped paying attention to your videos with chaos of life. Forgot how much I enjoyed them! Listened to you on Adventure Jogger podcast and had to come back and get reconnected to your great content!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Awesome to see you back Doug, thanks!!!

[@robertbrooks4331]

Thanks for filming me at 13:01! How did you like FuelRodz? Hope the calzone was awesome...you deserved it after this run. (A calzone making video wouldn't be out of order, btw)

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Haha that was you?!?

[@mandy4887]

FuelRodz are intriguing! Thanks for the video. Training is rocking!!!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Yeah they are great, thanks Mandy!!

[@raylowry1265]

Let's Gooo! Love it!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

yeah Ray!!!

My Tomirs did take a loooong time to break in. 50k for the upper to feel good. But the longer i wear them the BETTER I can run in them. Currently at 600k and their better than ever.

[@debrascott8775]

All the shoes out there, I can't imagine running 50k in one that doesn't feel amazing from the jump.

[@atleastIdietrying]

@@debrascott8775 yeah I know… but their promise of durability and therefore sustainability made my give them a real chance. If the really hold up for 1200k then the first 50k aren’t really more than a tiny part of my runs in them. Plus, as a hoka regular I am kind of annoyed that 600km is usually where my shoes are notably worse for wear. If they even hold up that long.

[@zakfairchild2356]

Love the training video updates! Keep hammering!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

thanks Zak!

[@philipking3010]

Solid mileage! Glad to see you stoked again. Love my Tomir shoes, but each to their own

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks Philip! You’re right about that for sure!

[@TStrailadventures]

Nice run. The trails look awesome

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks Thomas!!

[@ozenfant_ozn]

spring in the woods is the best! tho that seems a bit hot lol. hoka zinal 2s coming in?

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Yeah!! I have a few runs in them so far!!

[@rpmcmurphy2348]

Are you pacing Glick at WSER?!!??

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Not that I know of, lol. That would be awesome though!!!!

[@alexa9771]

love these videos. Please any advice or trick to put into the salomon vest the water bags, it's a fight for me to get them inside.

[@ropersix]

First trick to try is, blow air into them (after filling them with water) to make them more rigid.

[@alexa9771]

@@ropersix thanks buddy. I will try it.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Yeah agree with Timothy. They need to be full and then I just shake them down into the vest until they’re all the way in. Also, while running don’t take them out except to refill. If you need a drink, just pull the vest up a little so you can reach 👍

[@robcoombs5137]

I have the exact same issue with my Tomir. I cannot get the heel locked in well enough regardless of how tight I tie it down. Shame, amazing shoes otherwise.
