Correct re bonk. Don't stop feuling. Eat immediately after race or training. Mess either of those up and you have a recipe for feeling pretty rough. Do them well and you can enhance performance by a wide margin over feeling with lower GI options. (Wide meaning meaningful, not like 20%or something silly) This approach should not be carried out by folks with fasting glucose over 100 or a1c over 5.6%.
Thank You for confirming. Do you also want to comment on the notion to mainly only need sodium (citrate) as an electrolyte ( other than the obvious cramping problematic ?)
Sorry, I don’t have a PhD, but I learned this all the hard way.
As when my partner in a multi-day backcountry endurance challenge showed up with ‘sugary’ nutrition.
We got in real trouble when he turned out to be (pre)-diabetic unbeknownst to him.
Since then, I always ask to see the nutrition plan of a hiking/training partner. It’s super telling.
In my experience, shortcuts in nutrition are exactly that…
I do understand that these tips may work well for a shorter race or training session, but think they are woeful unsuitable for IM training or long distance/endurance racing.
