Why aiming for 120g of carbs per hour is a mistake
Manage episode 336726024 series 2971305
❗️ Let’s get controversial! ❗️
For many years carbohydrate fueling targets during exercise have been set at around 90g per hour for endurance exercise. But recently, a paper was published in elite mountain marathon runners who pushed the limits and hit more aggressive targets of 120g of carbohydrate per hour, while running hard!
I’ve seen many age-group athletes boast about how they’ve hit this target or are trying to achieve this in their own training. But because I want you to have all the facts, I’ve dedicated this episode to explaining why this might not be the best idea for YOU.
In this episode, I explain the research paper, the methodology, athlete characteristics and the findings with my Advanced Sports Dietitian critical thinking cap on.
I also take things one step further by explaining the practicalities of how this research could be applied to you, and why this is probably a mistake for many age-group triathletes.
Tune in for a different perspective and unbiased opinion on what’s the best way to fuel well and perform at your best as a triathlete.
