🚴♂️ Breakfast may not “top up” liver glycogen as quickly as you might think. Excited to share our new study, now online (in press) in the American Journal of Physiology – Endocrinology and Metabolism: https://t.co/kGl3mnTM0l

Always great to see @timpodlogar on YouTube talking carbs. What They Don’t Tell You About High Carb Fuelling https://t.co/b1WmXAbPgr via @YouTube

Whether riding the Tour, competing at the Women’s Euro, or logging your summer training hours - athletes are pushing their limits every day. And to train with high quality, recover well, and adapt over time, they need the right fuel. A thread on how to do that, practically 👇🧵

🚴♂️Nduranz just got back from Eurobike 2025—and honestly, it exceeded all expectations. Thousands of visitors. A few celeb moments. Probably a world record for the most times saying “carbs” in one day. 😅 We went expecting to teach the public about sports nutrition. But it turns

Benji Naesen raced on Zwift every day until he won. Spoiler: It took a while. Even stranger? He gained weight doing it. 😮 What happened? We break it down in the latest Nduranz Podcast with @timpodlogar & @ARhodesRacing + @BenjiNaesen We also talk about: 🍽️ Fueling + weight

7/ Why this matters 👇 Personalising CHO intake could: ✅ Improve performance ✅ Reduce GI distress ✅ Optimise fuelling for training & racing

5/ And yes—we found that personalisation is not only possible, it’s practical. This method allowed us to fine-tune glucose delivery to match individual utilisation capacity—not just what the gut can “tolerate.”

4/ In our latest study, we tested whether we could personalise glucose intake during exercise based on individual oxidation responses. Why GLU? 👉 It’s the main CHO source used in most sports products 👉 Knowing how you use it helps tailor mixed-CHO strategies (e.g. GLU:FRU)

3/ Prior work suggested a link between body size and CHO oxidation https://t.co/RlLRMLSp4j, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. There’s still huge unexplained variability. Which got us thinking...

There is little evidence that body size alters exogenous glucose oxidation rates during exercise. This study assessed whether larger people oxidize more exogenous glucose during exercise than smaller...

2/ BUT—peak CHO oxidation rates vary widely between individuals. And that matters. Just because you can tolerate high CHO doesn’t mean you can absorb it efficiently. We need to stop treating these as the same thing.

1/ High CHO intake (90–120 g/h) during endurance exercise has become standard for performance & recovery. In fact, we’ve previously shown that bumping CHO from 90 to 120 g/h increases exogenous CHO oxidation in highly trained athletes: 📄
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
The results suggest that carbohydrate ingestion at 120 g h-1 in 0.8:1 fructose-maltodextrin ratio as compared with 90 g h-1 in 1:2 ratio offers higher exogenous carbohydrate oxidation rates but no...
