In this episode, we take a deep dive into carbohydrate fuelling, discussing glucose–fructose ratios and what they mean for endurance performance. We break down the science in a practical, easy-to-understand way, explaining how different ratios influence absorption, energy production, and overall fuelling strategy.

We also introduce our new 1:1 PROTO range, discussing where it fits, who it’s for, and how it compares to the more traditional 2:1 approach. This isn’t about simply consuming more carbohydrate, but about fuelling appropriately for the demands of your training and racing.Whether you’re aiming for 60g, 90g, or pushing beyond 120g per hour, this episode will help you better understand how to fuel effectively and confidently.

In this episode, we invited Dan Elliot, professional Ironman triathlete, to dive deep into one of the most overlooked elements of marathon performance fuelling your training properly. 

Dan shares insights from competing at the highest level of endurance sport, breaking down how nutrition impacts energy levels, recovery, and race-day performance.

We talk about what to eat before long runs, how to fuel during high-mileage weeks, common mistakes runners make, and how to train your gut just like you train your legs. Whether you're preparing for your first marathon or chasing a PB, this episode is packed with practical advice you can apply immediately to your training. If you want to run stronger, recover faster, and avoid hitting the wall, this one’s for you.For more detail read our article here: Nutrition For Marathon Training: The Definitive Guide - TORQ Ltd
