In a podcast with the MX Endurance guys, I believe Adam Hansen talked about shooting for 120g/hr and doing everything with gels. And he talked about taking a gel halfway thru an IM SWIM to keep the calories going. He was pretty clear that he thought keeping his fueling at this level would definitely be helpful over what he thinks most triathletes are doing, and he said he can do it all day every day basically when cycling.
Interesting ideas for sure. I always thought the idea of 400 calories an hour being the max was counter intuitive, as people are different sizes and shapes. A blanket amount doesn't make much sense.
Looking forward to seeing where this thread goes.
ETA the bold word swim as it's critical haha
