Most runners don’t need 90 grams of sugar an hour to finish a marathon.
That’s a myth built for elites—and blindly copied by everyone else.

This article breaks down how your body really fuels endurance efforts, using hard data, real examples, and a clear message:

If you’re running below 70% VO₂ max (that’s 95% of you), fat should be your primary fuel.
Carbs? Use them sparingly—to stabilize blood sugar, not flood your gut.

Learn why gut overload, not underfueling, is the real race killer—and how to run smarter, cleaner, and longer with a 10–30g/hour carb strategy built for real-world performance.
