Sarah’s been testing what happens when she drinks 20g vs 80g of carbs per hour when running.
In the lab, we found that at 80g of carbs per hour:
📉 She relied less on her glycogen stores
😌 Running felt easier
⚡️ She had a faster finishing speed
Turns out, what you consume during a run can make quite a difference.
