I used to get overwhelmed fueling rides over 4 hours.  It felt impossible to stay organized and follow a real plan.  My approach was to “eat as much as possible and whatever sounded good at the time”.  Even though I would consume a lot of calories, it lead to boating, acid reflex, indigestion and other issues.  That all changed on my Everest ride earlier this year where I implemented a new strategy to execute a fueling plan up to 14 hours.  It worked perfectly and this episode tells you exactly what I did and how you can implement it for yourself.20% code for maurten.com - dialedhealthVIXXAL (valid until end of NOV 2026)Dialed Health is now available on TrainingPeaks!  Your Dialed Health Subscription not only gives you access to my strength training and mobility content, but includes a Premium Subscription to TrainingPeaks and TPVirtual (indoor cycling platform).You can get started here with a monthly or annual plan:$30/Month - https://checkout.trainingpeaks.com/product/41fcaf48-4c34-40f3-92f7-fc4663deb407$300/Annual - https://checkout.trainingpeaks.com/product/e951febd-de3d-4dae-8eb3-5617c058750a*this price will only be available until the end of the year...jump on it!You can also Apply to train with me 1:1 here: dialedhealth.com/coaching
