Wow you have been the first to explain it the way I like it I've been struggling lately after surgery being off training for six seven weeks up to 2 months before getting back on it on top of that I'm in Florida so the heat it's nasty ugly and not the best for long distance but I'm still manage I am 61-year-old going for Chattanooga September 25th I got about 8 more weeks and even though it's not the best I'm going to calculate all my nutrition base it on what you just explain it and see what happened thank you and keep up the good work you have been the best so far.
Thoughts on taking Imodium before a iron man… when I run hard my stomach starts to hurt and cramp and feel like im going to crap myself. People say Imodium can mess up hydration status?
You guys do the best practical advice for training and races. Any suggestions on gels for the running portion of IM. My stomach is fairly sensitive, I've been training with gu and hammergel and tailwind. The bike portion should be fine but I won't be able to carry enough gels so I'll have to stop at aide stations. The Maurteen gels work for me sometime bit others it kills the stomach. Coke and Redbull are fine, but gatorade endurance also is hit or miss. Thanks!
Remember to train your stomach just like training your swim/bike/run by using your nutrition in your training sessions. I prefer the PowerBar gel. I also recommend people use gummies (and gummy bears are good) and put one in your mouth every mile.

Absolute gold. Thank you!
This is really helpful thank you!!
do you have that blank excel sheet you could share?
How does this vary based on weight? What did you weigh for races and how would that change for lighter or heavier athletes?

Had my best run in a half on just coke.

@@TJ.at.DimondBikes thanks
You drink an entire bottle every 30 mins of the ride??? I would have to bring 14....lmao
How do you carry all the bottles on the bike?
I carry 3 or 4 bottles max with me and then grab bottles at the aid stations and/or special needs.
