Everyone doing The Big Half seems to encourage each other. I got to Mile 12 and got spooked when I spotted a semi-conscious guy spawled out at the road side being given oxygen by St John's Ambulance (due to the heat maybe?) It genuinely just freaked me out so I stopped running and started walking. Within about a minute, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen poked me hard in the solar plexus with her finger saying, "I've been an adoring fan of Dennis the Menace all my life. Don't failed me now!!!" (My club vest team colours are Dennis the Menace red & black bands) Needless to say, I ran the rest of the way, God Bless Her (whoever she is)

Hey guys, just a few comments from a relatively novis runner but experienced cyclist. 1. I would say for ultras or any races 4 hours + carb loading is equally as important if not more than for shorter stuff. 2. For me the easiest way for me to top up in the days leading is carbs in bottles. Just having more at meal time doesn't actually help as much as you may think. Your body is only able to absorb so much in one sitting and so will just pass the rest through. So little and often, thus carbs in bottles! Bonus keeps you more hydrated. 3. Fueling during training and racing. I am amazed by how little runners take on during runs. While on the bike I am aiming for close to 100g of carbs/hour. That is 4-5 gels an hour if just using gels. I understand that it is harder to consume while running than cycling, but it's a skill you can learn. In cycling hitting the wall is called bonking and it's an awful feeling, every cyclist has been through it and then after it will do everything they can to avoid it happening again. I am a bit shocked that it just accepted in the running world rather than addressing it. 4. Even if it's not carb loading per say, fueling training is absolutely everything. If you have a long run the next day you don't need to carb load but having a bit more the day before definitely helps and obviously a good meal ideally 2-4 hours before the run. And if people want to use running to aid weight loss the runs should still be fuelled probably it's the other days around it that needs to be in the carb deficit. I would know I managed to lose 25+kg with the help of a sports nutritionist. Saying all of that still loved the pod and learnt a fair few things I didn't realise how early you could start carb loading!

Cycling is probably easier on the stomach, as the up and down motion of running can lead to more GI distress, especially if taking on large amounts of carbs, in my opinion.
@chocolate_squiggle3 ай бұрын
The term 'bonking' is also used in running, and it's not just an accepted thing, the title of this podcast itself is an attempt to discuss ways to mitigate it. Yes people could probably take on more than they realise but at the same time I think there's such a thing as overdoing it. Frankly, when I ran more, I used to be able to get up and go run a half marathon distance at a decent pace before breakfast, without taking anything with me at all (not even a drink). That was without any specific training or diet, just pure volume enabled me to build up to that. Of course everyone is different, runs at a different effort, has different requirements etc.
@edithgruber21253 ай бұрын
I agree, running is much harder on the stomach. I've been a triathlete since the 1990s so I know both sports fairly well. On the bike, I can eat a lot more, including bars, bananas, dried fruits, gels, etc. getting up to 60-75 g carbs per hour in, but on the run, I can't take more than a gel every 40-45 min, i.e. 25 g carbs, plus a bit in liquid form, or I get sick. 35-40 g is the maximum per hour, about half of what I can take when riding. So in a longer triathlon, I would try to pre-fuel the run by eating more when I still tolerate it well. When I ride bike marathons in the Alps, 7-11 hours of race duration, I can eat anything, including noodle soup, cake, sandwiches, fresh fruits; my stomach is happy with it all. In a long run, I have to be very careful what I eat. The faster I run, the trickier it gets. If I race a marathon, I only tolerate gels and hydro gels in the second half. Liquids only for 10k pace and faster. I looked into what research had to say about it. They don't normally study GI symptoms per se, but as a by-product of studying the benefits of higher carb intake during endurance exercise, numerous studies found negative impacts for runners and triathletes but less for cyclists, e.g. a higher incidence of fecal occult blood after competitions, which means that the GI tract experiences more trauma because of running. TL;DR: running is harder on the GI tract and race fuelling is highly individual. Everyone has to find out what and how much they can tolerate. You can improve your fuelling with training but there are much tighter limits to that than in cycling. I've been trying out different things for over 15 years and I still can't take much more in the marathon than at the beginning.

Regarding when “hitting the wall” the delay on how long it takes after taking on nutrition, my wife is T1 diabetic, monitoring blood glucose closely when it’s very low and you take on “fast” carbs (honey, lucozade etc) it can be 10-15 minutes before it registers as an increase in blood glucose. It helps a little to swirl the drink around your mouth as the sugars are absorbed quicker through the gums and soft tissue of the mouth. Gels etc are slower acting so not ideal if you get to the “wall” but good for slower release afterwards.

I've tried carb loading this year during my first trial race (and the second race in my life as I started running more seriously in the beginning of this year). It was a 25km race with a 1000m of elevation. Two days before the race, I consumed 10g of carbs per 1kg of body weight, and during the race I've sticked to the plan of consuming 70g of carbs per hour. All this planning really paid off, because I felt strong all the way through the race and finished it at 2h47min. that was beyond any of my expectation!

There’s some research out there that suggests protein loading is just as or more effective than carb loading. Since the body converts excess protein into carbs, it makes a lot of intuitive sense. You get the benefits of protein for tissue repair and synthesis, and then the benefits of carbs for maximizing your glycogen stores.

To fend off "the wall" whether in training or race day, I just think fueling is key. Taking a gel every 5k works for me to keep my glycogen levels from depleting. If you keep taking on fuel regularly from the beginning, you just never get that low.
@meridionreftaghn39713 ай бұрын
A fully charged glycogen battery lasts for 90 minutes of zone 4 and about 180 minutes in zone 3. So I never thought about supplementing on a HM, mainly b/c I don't do well with eating during a race. If you're adapted to ketosis you can even run pretty much indefinitely without preloaded carbs. The longest I personally ran was 34 km without any nutrition on that day (ate normally the day before though) or while running, just to train my metabolism to use fat while in performance mode. It's not really some agenda thing for me, I just can't for the love of god keep stuff down when I'm running =(
@S9999Frank3 ай бұрын
From cycling my experience is that running out of glycogen does not need to be that painful like you say. I can keep going surely, but the feeling is like I am going on an empty tank, and can only go relatively low intensity/1 gear feeling. No acceleration is possible in such a state, so the best thing is to stay as far away from ketosis as possible in a race. I did a few marathons in my youth, always ate well before, but struggled to put in much food or water during the run. Every time I had a horrible last 10-12kms. If only I was as smart then as I am now, or as fit now as I was then :-) How big the glycogen store is is also individual, and it is believed that the amount stored will increase in well trained athletes.

Felt great, although the legs suffered through the last 3 kms. And Sydney is a tough course with a long hill just after 40 km to test the legs.

In the summer, I run fasted -zero calories for 19-21 hours. I wonder if this helps me to preserve carbohydrates? I found I have to do this since where I live its very humid and the minimum daily temperature is 30 deg C. The Sun during the daylight hours is like 10 cm from the surface of the ground, or feels like it ... I never eat sugar in any form, except fruit.
@S9999Frank3 ай бұрын
Why would you say you never eat sugar, then next sentence I eat fruit ? Fruit-sugar has an ever higher glycemic index than sugar, so it gets taken up in your body faster than sugar. If you fast but have enough fat stored, your body will probably manage to fill up your glycogen stores aka what you call your carbohydrates. So your fuel tank can be full even if fasted.

Keep it simple (he says, before posting an essay) I train on an almost empty stomach (a banana per 10km, half an hour before I set off), a preworkout shake (caffiene, beta alanine, creatine mix) a berocca multivitamin in water and a BCAA/electrolyte mix as my pre run "energy" cocktail. Then I take an electrolyte gel every 30minutes (regardless if thats 5k or less). So a "long run of say 15k" I might take 2 gels (5k,10k to get me to the end) and hope I finish running about 90mins. Anything longer than 15k/90mins long run I'll add 2 slices of peanut butter toast. As for before a race, the night before make sure you have MORE carbs with dinner, or have 2 sittings. Say, lasagne for 5pm dinner and a bowl of macaroni cheese at 7pm (with a banana per 10k and a magnesium/b vitamin supplement as well).

If you're keto adapted you don't need any carbs for distance running. Plenty of people do this, with great success. Ketones provide a very efficient fuel for long runs.

Get fat adapted - for non-elites is probably healthier to develop some metabolic flexibility and not pump yourself full of sugars. I have used gels on runs/rides but avoid them in training to develop my fat adaptations.

Warm = add heat. Cool = remove heat. Running warms the body to lower the rate of cooling, therefore it's warm down.

Don’t even know what this guy is on. You need to carb load for long endurance sports. Anything over an hour, carb up so you have energy. This other guy that was disagreeing with carb loading doesn’t know anything. High efforts you need to eat carbs. Simple

Full shit to advise unhealthy carbloading. It’s useless if you eat enough, a lot of, meat and fat.
