Perform your best and avoid bonking on race day by fueling properly!
By eating 100 calories of simple carbohydrates (25 grams) every 30-45 minutes, we can push harder for longer and reduce the risk of bonking.
Our science-backed XACT Carb Calculator provides clear fueling guidance for training and racing. Just enter your session's intensity and duration to get 3 recommendations:
- Carb quantity/hour (grams)
- Recommended form (liquid, gel, or solid)
- Whether you should train your gut for better absorption
These insights fuel performance, preventing bonking and enabling breakthroughs.
Try the XACT Carb Calculator now — and get ready to fuel your next session right.
Pro tips:
- Start fueling early on. Our digestive systems will stay active and we are less likely to face gastric issues
- Eat an XACT ENERGY Fruit bars 15-20 minutes before the race to ensure your energy levels are topped up at the start line
- If you enjoy the benefits of caffeine, take your caffeinated gel/bar early on to get the most out of its effects
