Excellent article ! I admit that I was computing for myself that I burn 100 g of carbs per hour at my endurance pace, hence I would hit a wall after 4 hours having totally deplete my glycogen. But that's not what reality shows... Not eating anything, I feel a big low around 2h of efforts. Your hypothesis is really interesting, I would like to see some people publish data of energy expenditure while doing a long effort and computing in and outs. I am pretty sure there is some form of metabolic savings, system shutting downs on very long efforts...
Good article Paul, enjoyed it! Hope you are doing great and that good weather is catching up in Canada. Cheers 🤙🚀
Great Article Prof!
hehe indeed, let alone that Yomif Kejelcha had planned about 70 g/hour and skipped some, so eventually had 55-60 g/hour and still ran sub-2 :)

If the only carbohydrate required is to prevent EIH, then why do you suggest consuming 50-70g/hr?
