Why This Matters Running a marathon is a serious test of preparation, mindset and energy management. Even well-trained athletes struggle if fuelling is neglected. A smart plan doesn’t just get you to the start line — it gets you through...
Trail and adventure running demands more from your fuelling strategy. You’re out longer, the terrain is unpredictable, and access to aid stations is often limited. Proper fuelling, hydration, and gut training are essential not just for performance, but for safety...
there’s a quiet performance advantage that gets overlooked: fuelling during training. Not just for energy during the session, but for the way it shapes the rest of your day. Skipping carbs during long or intense sessions might feel manageable in...
Many endurance athletes focus heavily on training intensity, mileage, and race prep—but there’s a silent performance killer that’s often overlooked: not eating enough to match energy output. Known as Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S), this condition affects both health...
Do bigger athletes need significantly more fuel during long-distance running, cycling, or triathlon events? A recent study sheds new light on this topic, challenging the idea that larger athletes automatically need more carbs. For trail runners, cyclists, and anyone fuelling...
In endurance sport, most athletes focus on training volume, race-day nutrition, and strength work — but often forget one of the most powerful performance enhancers available: sleep. High-quality, deep sleep doesn’t just feel good — it’s measurably linked to better...
Female athletes face unique physiological needs — from hormone fluctuations and menstrual cycles to iron demands and protein utilisation.
Learn how to train your gut to absorb up to 120g carbs/hour using Dr. Asker Jeukendrup’s research. Boost endurance, reduce GI distress, and fuel your goals.
For decades, endurance athletes struggled to fuel effectively—too little and they bonked, too much and they suffered GI distress. The development of advanced fueling strategies has changed the game, allowing athletes to absorb more carbohydrates without overloading the gut.
