what are you actually eating before a session

Genuinely curious because I've never fully cracked this. I've been doing rice cakes with peanut butter about 90 mins out and it's... fine. Not bad, not life-changing, just fine. Had a long brick session Saturday and honestly felt like I ran out of fuel around the 1h45 mark which made me think maybe I'm undereating beforehand or timing it wrong. Hard to know. I've seen people swear by banana and oats, others say they train fasted and feel great — I tried fasted once and basically wanted to lie down on the pavement lol. So that's a no from me. What are you eating and how long before? Especially if you're doing anything over 90 mins.

stupid question but did you have anything during the session itself, like a gel or anything? 1h45 without fuelling mid-way seems like that might be the issue more than what you had before

rice cakes at 90 mins is probably too early tbh

fasted training sounds good until you actually try it lol

how long was the brick session roughly — were you fuelling during it as well or just relying on what you had before?

banana about 45 mins before works for me, nothing heavy
