I try to minimise
fuelling during longer runs to avoid any GI problems, but I like to use Nakd bars, dates, Ella's fruit pouches, and Vega and 33 shake chia gels.
DIY Gatorade Version: NOTE: I especially like this for people who can't take in
fuel during a long run or who are looking for something extra on a long bike ride.

You can ease back on the
fueling during the earlier part of your

long and specific (like the workouts in the RYBQ plans), carb - loading is a good idea.
Well, simply put, for short exercise duration this is indeed often the best option - plain old water is absolutely adequate to hydrate
during a typical weight lifting session, short set of sprints, or short distance

During longer duration activity, however, it becomes important to take in compounds OTHER than water that are lost, which includes the aforementioned sodium, as well as carbohydrates to
fuel continued activity.
Forcing my body to utilize fat
during the
long swims, bike rides and
runs makes
fueling a breeze!
I found that I was able to

Since training season starts in just a couple weeks, I'm wondering how you would recommend

What do you suggest for

While your regular
run - of - the - mill all - season tires might offer the
long tread life, ride quality, traction, and
