    FUELLING THE TRAINING SESSION

    Long-duration endurance rides train your body to use fuel more efficiently, build stamina levels, and increase your aerobic capacity. Even if you’re not pushing yourself to the limit, energy and hydration levels will drain and need replenishing. Targeted fuelling during your session is essential to maintain your power output and ensure your body actually adapts to the training.

    ENERGY OAT BAR

    Delivers 40g of a steady release of carbohydrates for sustained energy: A practical, effective pre-session fuelling choice.

    HYDRO+

    Mixed with water, it supports your hydration needs by replacing key electrolytes, including sodium, lost when sweating.

    GO ISOTONIC ENERGY GEL

    22g of fast-absorbing carbohydrates. A highly effective isotonic formula designed to be taken without additional water, making it easy to digest.

    GO ENERGY GEL + ELECTROLYTE

    22g of fast-absorbing carbohydrates. Contains additional electrolytes to support hydration.

    1. Vitamin B1 & B2 contribute to carbohydrate conversion
    2. Vitamin B6 aids protein metabolism.

    PREPARING FOR A CYCLING RACE

    The week leading up to your race should focus on two things: tapering and carb-loading. Getting these two things right can be the difference between finishing strong, or simply finishing, or worse, not finishing at all. In the 24 hours before the race, you should be topping up your glycogen stores with low-fibre, easily digested foods. Your pre-race meal should be eaten at least 2.5 hours before the start line.

    It’s hard to do less than normal during race week whilst consuming more food, but this is vital so you store the energy rather than burn it off!

    FUELLING RECOVERY RIDES

    The recovery period is just as important as the training itself. Realistically, it should be a part of your overall training plan. When you’re training for an event, recovery rides should happen once or twice a week. They shouldn’t be strenuous and low-intensity, but still fuelled properly. These rides should focus on hydration, with an intake of around 500ml per hour, including electrolytes.

    Eat a carb-heavy meal around 2.5-3 hours before a recovery ride, with around ~20g of protein included. If you do this, you shouldn’t need to have any additional carbs during the ride instead.

    Expert fuelling strategies for training and race day

     

    TRAINING WITH NUTRITION

    Your nutrition strategy should run parallel to your training plan. The two need to work together to work effectively. Nutrition isn’t an optional part of your training or race; it’s the most important factor. 

    6. Vitamin C contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.

    7. Vitamin B6 & B12 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

    THE SCIENCE OF NUTRITION TIMING

    Timing your nutrition is just as important as what you’re using. Too early or too late can have unexpected and unwanted consequences.

    FUEL BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER

    The strategic timing of carbohydrate and fluid intake complements the quantities consumed to optimise performance. Commencing a session in an optimally fuelled and hydrated state reduces physiological stress during exercise, supporting the maintenance of power output and mental focus throughout. As duration increases, periodic carbohydrate delivery sustains carbohydrate availability and delays the onset of fatigue. A structured, evidence-based approach to session nutrition, rather than reactive fuelling, ensures the body receives the precise substrates it requires, at the point they are needed most, to support both performance and the training adaptation process. 

    HYDRATION MANAGEMENT

    Research demonstrates that even mild dehydration can meaningfully impair power output, reduce cognitive function, and accelerate perceived fatigue.

    DON'T SWEAT IT

    Effective fluid and electrolyte management is a fundamental, and frequently underestimated, determinant of endurance performance. Sweat losses during sustained aerobic exercise contain not only water but essential electrolytes, most notably sodium, which are integral to fluid retention, skeletal muscle contractility, and neuromuscular function. A proactive hydration strategy, initiated before the session and sustained at regular intervals throughout, is central to maintaining physiological function and optimising performance throughout the training session.
