This should have been addressed: “Energy gels should be taken just before or during exercise. They work by immediately raising your blood sugar level. If you are not exercising, the body will release insulin and convert into long term stores (glycogen) actually leading to lower blood sugar levels. Thus if you take energy gels 1 or 2 hours before a race, you can be left feeling tired at the start of the race. However, once you are running, the body will be using all the glucose released. I advise not taking energy gels more than 10 minutes before start of race / warm up.” Or am I misinformed? Thanks for great content on this channel 👌🏻 Best regards from Sweden

Thank you so much for the Carb Loading tips. You helped enable me to complete my first Marathon (Bank of America - Chicago) yesterday. The 2g of carbs per kg of body weight worked perfectly. for me. My wife prepared the mixture of granola, chex mix, and dried pineapples. I was fueled for a long duration of the race enough to bypass several stations along the way. My energy level has never been so intense until yesterday. Thank you again and I have subscribed and liked this video. Looking forward to more content.

I think it’s hilarious people promote “carb loading” to boost performance for an event but don’t do this in training, where an abundance of carbs will allow you to perform better and stronger in workouts and recover better from them. #carbthefup

Remember it doesn't matter how full your glycogen stores are, if you're tired and fatigued it will make little difference. In other words a proper taper is more important than carb loading.

When considering your carbs per hour for the ride, how does the meal beforehand fit in? Does this basically cover off the first hour, so you only start your on-the-bike carb intake an hour in? Or do you start doing 60-90g per hour as soon as you start riding, regardless of your meal beforehand?

Well what has become of carb loading when eating a bunch of carbs before racing is adequate? I won quite a few races carbo loading. It is highly effective and somewhat dangerous. Here is how you do it. You begin 6 days out with your regular pre-race training week and with a carb free diet on Monday ,Tuesday and Wednesday. You will need a follow vehicle on Wednesday as you will bonk big time! Thurs we are spinning easy and eating carbs. Assuming Saturday is race day , Friday some ride; some don't. Saturday you will have a VERY GOOD DAY. This process creates what is referred to as 'SuperCompensation'. I used it a maximum of twice a year at the most important events. I have heard of blood in the urine on Wednesday at peak depletion, but it never happened to me or any of my team.

I was able to completely get off all carbs and have been able to get mu body running on fat stores. Took me a few weeks but now I’m riding with water only and maybe water:/ electrolytes.. but anyway the days of downing crappy sugary foods and gels is over thank god. Since Ive done that Ive been able to ride all day without a single carb .. only thing I might carry are meat sticks (like Chomps brand) in case I feel hungry on the longest rides. I’m carnivore type eating. Occasionally i may get in some lactose from whole milk or yogurts. But thats kind of rare. Just meat and animal type fat

I know you found your great evangelical scion for "the one true diet" and will likely defend their powerpoint presentations with zealous fervor, but in practice ketogenic diets can put a tremendous strain on the pancreas, and in many cases directly induce pancreatitis. The pancreas does a lot more than simply secrete insulin.
