Fuel For Your Thoughts

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Carbohydrates are the primary fuel source for high-intensity and endurance activities. They break down into glucose, which is stored as glycogen in muscles and the liver. During exercise, glycogen is the main energy source; without adequate carbohydrate intake, athletes may experience early fatigue and decreased performance."}]}]}
{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Fast-acting carbohydrates (like glucose or maltodextrin) found in most energy gels, carb drink mixes, energy chews, digest quickly, offering rapid energy, ideal during workouts. Slow-digesting carbs (like oats or quinoa) provide sustained fuel, making them better for meals hours before training or general daily energy needs."}]}]}
{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Marathon runners might consider carb-loading in the 2–3 days before race day to maximise glycogen stores. During the race, consuming 30–60g of carbohydrates or as per nutrition goals/intensity per hour, via gels, drinks, bars or chews to help sustain energy, and delay fatigue."}]}]}

As athletes who cherish every trail, road and waterway we train on, Aid Station proudly acknowledges the Wurundjeri and Bunurong People as the Traditional Owners of the land where we lace up our shoes each day. We respect every athlete's journey, and extend this same respect to all First Nations People and Elders across Australia, whose ancient pathways we now follow during races and adventures. We recognise the enduring connection First Nations Peoples have with Country - a relationship that shows the ultimate endurance. At Aid Station, while we help athletes fuel their journeys, we’re equally committed to respecting and preserving the land that sustains us. As proud sponsors of TRIMOB and the IRONMOB Program, we're honoured to support communities who share our passion for endurance sport. We pay respects to Elders past, present and future, celebrating the rich heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples - true endurance experts long before the first marathon was run.
