[QUOTE="FantomPoet, post: 773979, member: 47839"] Hi all. I have been silly enough to sign up for a 100 mile sportive in April and have started to visit how I am going to fuel it. At the weekend I tried to use gels and carb drinks on a 60 mile training ride. As I neared the end I 'carbed up' which turned into a problem. Once home I though wow that was good...tiring but good...I'm off for a sleep. Two hour later I woke feeling rough and tested my blood, which came in at 3.2 (I take no meds for BS so all my own doing). I guess my body over reacted to the carbs as I normally keep well away from the nasty things...So I don't want to repeat that again. I can normally do 60 miles on no additional carbs but was conscious I was aiming for double (or nearly) the distance. Do any of you folks do this type of distance? If so how do you fuel yourselves? I have come across a possible book on Amazon called '[SIZE=3]The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance'[/SIZE] which is an addition to a low carb book which apparently is good although I have not seen it myself. Have any of you read this? Is it worth buying? Thanks for your help and thoughts [/QUOTE]
