The problem
Fuel gets you started. Energy production keeps you moving.
Long efforts demand more from your energy system. As fatigue builds, power drops, pace becomes harder to maintain, and every kilometre costs more.
-
Fatigue sets in
Your legs grow heavier, your effort rises, and the pace that felt comfortable becomes harder to hold.
-
Power starts to fade
As the session gets tougher, your output drops and your body begins slowing down before the finish.
-
Fuel alone is not enough
Gels provide carbohydrates, but your cells still need to turn that fuel into usable energy to keep you performing.
