Hi, I'm a writer for Cycling Plus magazine in the UK. We're doing a new story trying to answer readers' problems surrounding the subject of on-bike re-fueling during longer training/races. Obviously we'd like to include the very latest sports science research on these subjects and so I thought I'd see if anyone from here would be able to help out.
We would of course credit individuals and their academic departments with anything that's published. I will also post a draft of what I intend to write on here before it goes to press. Basically the questions are: 1) Whenever I take on sports drinks I just feel like they slosh around in my stomach rather than being absorbed, even from very early in the race. So I start feeling nauseous and unable to drink more. What should I do? 2) I'm confused about the right type of carbohydrate to go for. What's the difference between glucose, maltodextrins and fructose etc. Are some easier to stomach than others? Are some better than others? 3) I'm a very heavy sweater and regularly feel dizzy or nauseous during and for long periods after a long ride. I know I should be taking on fluid very regularly but in races I feel like constantly going for my bottle is really slowing me down, but if I take lots of big gulps in one go I feel sick - can you help? 4) What is "taste fatigue" - any good suggestions for getting rid of it? 5) How should I "train" my gut to accept more fluid and carbohydrate during a high-intensity long ride? Would you be able to offer some comments on these?
