Carbohydrate

Triathlon is basically three sports stapled together and fuelled by one main thing: carbohydrates. Carbs aren’t a moral issue; they’re logistics. You’re not “being good” by cutting them; you’re just quietly sabotaging your swim, bike, and run.

Nutrition for endurance athletes is just as important as training itself. Whether you’re preparing for a triathlon, logging hours on the bike, or testing yourself in an indoor cycling session, fueling strategies determine performance and recovery. From endurance cycling nutrition to post-race refueling, knowing what to eat during long rides and how to balance carbs, hydration, and recovery will help you perform at your best.

Proper nutrition is essential for peak cycling performance and recovery. The right snacks before, during, and after your ride keep you energized, improve endurance, and speed up recovery. Fueling correctly helps prevent fatigue, cramps, and ensures you stay strong throughout your ride.

I can't think of a topic with more myths, unbelievable stories, and outrageous claims than cycling supplements. You’ll find thousands of posts praising yet another super supplement, and an equal number of posts saying the complete opposite.

Training nutrition, in general, is incredibly complex, complicated and very personal. What works for one person may not work for another. It is impossible to generalise what indoor training nutrition should look like, however there are a few key points that you need to know in order to understand and plan your nutrition and hydration intake.
