Re: Endurance fuel & hydration sugar ratios... and fuel science and stuff [Mudge]

I had tried the early versions of SIS Beta Fuel, with the 2:1 ratio, didn't do well with it once it got warm. The newer 1:0.8 ratio worked much better for me, gut distress-wise. BUT, after seeing your video on table sugar, I've experimented a bit and settled on a homemade 1:0.66 ratio by using 60g of sugar w/ 15g of maltodextrin, and some lemon flavoring from truelemon.com in a bottle per hour dosage.


How does the lemon do with the sweetness of the drink?

I vary my ratio based on my intake and I vary my intake based on intensity & duration.

Up to 90g / hr I tend to go 2:1 to try to drive the glucose transporters as much as possible
Beyond 120g/hr I've had good luck with the 1:0.8 products like BetaFuel 2.0 / Flow Formula / Maurten.
I've also had good luck with your "speed nectar".
Next I'll be doing Malto + Fructose in 1:1.

The biggest benefit to "Speed Nectar" is that my 2 biggest events are in Europe and it'll be easier to visit a store to buy a 15lb bag of Sucrose rather than smuggling a suitcase of white powder across the ocean.
