When to Fuel?

Are you aware that your body holds enough carbohydrates as fuel for about 90 minutes of exercise? Nonetheless, many runners participate in races that extend beyond this duration. Thus, it’s crucial for them to consume carbohydrates at least 30 minutes before they start feeling fatigued. Eating easily digestible carbohydrates during a run can enhance their endurance.

I advise my runners to set their watch alarms to sound every 40 minutes. As fatigue begins to appear, it acts as an excellent reminder to eat.
