Overall, I think I carbloaded well. I did not get a bad stomachache or felt too full. I do think I need to rethink my fueling strategies during the race. I felt very sick and had stomach cramps throughout most of the race and after I couldn’t eat anything with being in pain. I think the problem is coming from what is essentially carb cycling (low carb and high carb days interchanged) and I am hoping my body is becoming fat adaptive. But with this fat adaptive strategy, I am still using sugar to fuel my long runs so my stomach is not happy. I would love to switch to fat adaptive strategies (using peanut butter, etc for fueling) but I need to have a few months to work on it and I am in high training time until at least mid-January. I may work on it then (depending on how I feel after Dopey and Rebel Challenge) or it may have to wait until after the LA Marathon. We will see!
Any one fuel with fat during races?
