This guide provides science-backed strategies, expert insights from Dr. Asker Jeukendrup, and practical fueling techniques to help retailers, coaches, and team managers support athletes with the best in endurance nutrition.
Fuel Smarter for Consistency, Progress, and Performance
As training intensifies, athletes must dial in their fueling strategies to maintain energy, consistency, and recovery. Supporting your customers or team members with the right nutrition ensures they can train harder, recover better, and perform stronger.
Expert Guidelines from Dr. Asker Jeukendrup (Founder of Neversecond)
Carbohydrate Intake During Exercise:
-
<30 min: No carbohydrate intake needed.
-
45–75 min: Small amounts or a carbohydrate mouth rinse can boost performance.
-
1–2 hours: 30g/hour of carbs; increase to 60g/hour for longer durations.
-
>2.5 hours: Up to 90g/hour using glucose-fructose mixes for maximum energy absorption.
