FAQ
This edition- When should I start fueling during the race?
Start taking on-board nutrition before you feel hungry. For sprint distances, minimal fueling may be needed; for longer events, aim for 30-60g carbs per hour depending on intensity. Practice your nutrition strategy in training—don't try anything new on race day.
- What if I need to stop for a toilet break?
Aid stations are typically well-positioned. Use them as planned stops rather than emergency stops. For trail events, natural options exist but are limited; plan your nutrition accordingly.
