we shouldn't not consider fat as an energy source that can be great for fueling low intensity long endurance rise but sparing glycogen swords at those lower intensity levels and delaying the onset of fatigue so if you are heading out for a big ride six seven eight hours plus we're talking here very low intensity levels not the worst idea but as soon as the intensity ups as soon as the pace quickens like it's starting to on this climb well you're going to begin to struggle easier moments is when you want to eat your real foods at the top of a descent maybe when your heart rate is going to be low give yourself more time to digest and it's a little bit easier on your stomach using a sports drink is another really good way of keeping those foundations of carbs topped up today i'm using the endurance energy drink by applied nutrition and this has around NUMBER_TOKEN grams of carbs per serving but the great thing with energy drinks and energy powders is that they can be adapted so you could maybe use NUMBER_TOKEN full grams of carbs and then rely on real foods a little bit less or depending on what ride you're doing you could have a little bit less carbs on your bottles and rely on more food it's really adaptable which is great so what are the guys getting up to i wonder if connor's eating his coconut yet i don't see anything i'm poking on my eyes oh it's time to feel it now if i'm honest just don't quite have the power did it start being to feel a bit empty not the same kind of snap in my legs and i would say to you guys at home i don't try this i wouldn't recommend it it's not the sort of thing you want to do especially the sort of fats i'm eating basically you're going to run into some gastrointestinal issues diarrhea bloating nausea that sort of stuff probably explains why i'm not feeling the greatest
