What You'll Learn:
✅ What intra-workout carbs are and how they work
✅ When you should eat during training (and when you shouldn't)
✅ How carbs replenish glycogen mid-workout
✅ Best intra-workout carb sources for functional fitness
✅ Why this matters for 4-5 WOD/week athletes
Who This Is For:

Athletes training 4-5x per week (WODs, HYROX, functional fitness)
Anyone experiencing energy crashes mid-workout
High-intensity athletes looking to improve performance
People training for longer than 45-60 minutes
Athletes who want to maintain strength throughout sessions

The Science:
During intense training lasting 45+ minutes, your glycogen stores begin depleting. Intra-workout carbs provide quick energy to:

Maintain performance quality
Delay fatigue and energy crashes
Support sustained power output
Improve recovery between sets
Keep focus and mental sharpness

Best Intra-Workout Carb Sources:

Fast-digesting carbohydrates (dextrose, maltodextrin)
Sports drinks with carbs and electrolytes
Gels or chews designed for endurance
Simple carb sources that digest quickly
