currently ignores non-running activities.
## Race fueling
Plans, product reference, and the carb science live in
[RaceLogistics.md](RaceLogistics.md). Personal takeaways: target 80 g/h
(history says I under-fuel), both Tailwind and Hammer Gel are
glucose-dominant — pushing past ~85 g/h with this stack needs more
fructose, not more gels.

# Race Logistics — fueling reference & plans
Reference doc: nutrition science, product cheat-sheet, race plans, watch
setup. Personal findings/cues stay in [NatesNotes.md](NatesNotes.md).
## Carb science in five bullets
- The gut absorbs glucose and fructose through **separate transporters**:
SGLT1 (glucose) saturates around **~60 g/h**; GLUT5 (fructose) adds another
**~3050 g/h** on top. That's the entire reason dual-source fueling exists.
- Maltodextrin and dextrose are pure glucose for this purpose; **sucrose is
half glucose, half fructose**.
- Targets by effort: >2.5 h → **6090 g/h**; the current elite trend is
**90120 g/h at ~1:0.8 glucose:fructose** (Maurten/SiS Beta/Nduranz-style
products) — measurably less fatigue in trail-marathon studies, but only
with a **trained gut**. Build in long runs, never debut on race day.
- Hydration **450750 ml/h** (up to ~1 L/h hot). Sodium **~500700 mg/h**
typical; true range is individual (2001,500). Most "gel" GI distress is
actually dehydration/sodium imbalance concentrating sugars in the gut.
- Pre-race: 100150 g familiar carbs 2.53 h out. Start fueling at min 2530.
Post: 80100 g carbs + protein within the hour.
## Product reference (what's in the cabinet)
| Product | Per unit | Carb sources | ~glu:fru |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Tailwind Endurance Fuel | 25 g carb, ~310 mg sodium / scoop | dextrose + cane sugar (sucrose) | ~34 : 1 |
| Hammer Gel | ~2125 g carb / serving | ~80% maltodextrin + ~20% fructose | ~4 : 1 |
| Endurolytes Extreme | ~300 mg salt ≈ **~120 mg sodium**, 75 mg K / cap | — | — |
Both fuels are **glucose-dominant**. Stacked at ~78 g/h that's ~6063 g/h
glucose — right at the SGLT1 ceiling, fine. Pushing this stack to 90+ g/h
overloads the glucose pathway (GI risk) because the fructose share is too
small; going higher means *more Tailwind relative to gels* or a 1:0.8
product for the 50K/50M.
## 30K plan — 2026-06-13 (assumes ~4 h)
Targets: **7580 g carb/h · 500750 ml fluid/h · ~500700 mg sodium/h**
- **Bladder: 6 scoops Tailwind in 2 L** → 150 g carb, ~1,860 mg sodium.
~500 ml/h = 37 g carb + 465 mg sodium per hour; lasts exactly 4 h.
- **2 Hammer gels/h (on :00 and :30)** = +40 g → **≈78 g/h total**.
Strong + stomach solid after hour 1 → 3rd gel in hours 23.
Struggling → skip a gel, keep sipping. Never go to zero carbs.
- **Endurolytes**: carry 4; 1/h from hour 2 only if hot / salty sweater /
cramp twinges. Tailwind covers baseline sodium.
- **Carry**: 8 gels + 2 spare · mixed bladder · 4 caps · 2 spare scoops in a
baggie for refill points.
- **Pre**: 120150 g carbs 2.53 h before · ~500 ml in the last hour ·
1 gel 10 min pre-gun.
## FR255 fueling reminders
Native (race-day choice): Run profile → hold **UP** → Run Settings → Alerts
→ Add New → **Time → Recurring → 0:15**. Mapping: every buzz = sip ·
every 2nd (:30s) = gel · every 4th (hourly) = salt check.
Connect IQ alternative for labeled eat/drink intervals:
[Eat! Drink! Reminder!](https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/7449127c-65ba-470b-954c-3a5fa93376c3)
— test on a training run first; costs a data-field slot.
## Before the 50K (2026-07-25)
- Gut-train toward 90 g/h on long runs (raise Tailwind share, or trial a
1:0.8 glucose:fructose fuel).
- Re-derive sodium needs from how the 30K went (cramps? salt crust? nausea?).
- Log the 30K outcome below.
