Extreme Veteran  580  |  Subject: Avoiding the Bike to Run Bonk and ...Ok, so I have been practicing my nutrition on my long rides. I use Infinit and take in around 200-250ish calories per hour. I back off in the last 20 - 30 minutes to prepare for my run (I typically do a 30 minute brick after my long rides). I statred doing this based on an article I read about avoidinig the bike to run bonk (which really deals with over doing it nutrition wise on the bike and getting stomach distress on the run). The Infinit has been great and I am NOT hungry (which is huge for me!) when I get off the bike. So, given that -- at what point in the run do I start taking nutrition? Thanks! |

Try right out of the shoot, 15 mins, and 30 mins to see what works best for you. Unless your stomach is full or upset, I wouldn't wait untill 45+ minutes into the run. |

Champion 19812 MA | Subject: RE: Avoiding the Bike to Run Bonk and ... I do 20' intervals for eating both on run and bike. I start 20' off the bike. Trying different things in training is best way to find out what works or doesn't work for you. |

Trying different things in training is best way to find out what works or doesn't work for you. Thanks! I am definitely trying different things in training, which is why I was asking for a starting point for when to start taking nutrition on the run -- just looking for a starting place and then I can tweak from there. I also appreciate that this strategy is different for different race distances and by person, but just wanted to see what you all thought. Thanks again! |

Elite 3498 Chicago | Subject: RE: Avoiding the Bike to Run Bonk and ... another good guage is begin taking nutrition in on the bike once your HR settles down from T2 otherwise that nutrition may just stay in your stomach and/or cause distress. in an IM race, it typically takes me about 15-30min for my HR to come down to normal running BPMs. |
