This is probably the most insightful, practical guidance to really improve running performance I’ve seen. Another excellent set of content and advice

[JustInBerlin]

This is legitimately great advice. Ive used this strategy on my long runs. Especially by only taking half a gel every 30 minutes have almost completely eliminated the bonk. Thanks a lot for sharing Stephen!

This might be the most useful nutrition video I have ever seen on the YT and I don't say it lightly. Thanks mate for such valuable advice and good luck with whatever is next!

I’m training for the Peachtree road race this summer.

I took into consideration your method & applied the thought of “ what duration do I feel like I have to push the hardest at?”

I created a simple but effective fueling drink, and I sipped on it when the times were right!

Now I’m going to go stretch!
Thanks so much!!

This why I try getting all my cardio training done first thing in morning before breakfast. Great video, def some new insights I can practice with

[bernhardneumuellerphotography]

your videos are just getting better and better! super helpful

[shaneboyce]

Really helpful- I always feel terrible on evening runs despite what I would consider a very good diet. Will try leaving it 3 hours from eating (rather than the usual 2) for my net evening sesh!

Dude in two videos you became my favorite running youtuber !

[innesdunbar]

That was really helpful. The micro dosing before the workout could really help. I quite often feel off on a run after work, it isn't easy to get right.

Your information in these videos a great Stephen. One of the few Youtube channels that helps my knowledge about running. Most of the videos has given me something new to think about. Cheers.

Super helpful. Made the mistake of running within three hours of a huge bowl of oatmeal and my stomach and energy levels weren’t having it. Had to drop to easy pace.

Absolutely love your content. Keep it coming 🙏🏻

I've struggled with the low blood sugars in evening runs, exactly as you've described - it lead me to rebound hypoglycaemia which has mean't I've changed how I fuel pre run and timings, basically as you've described, the only difference is that while warming up I am "dumping" the whole gel which as yet hasn't felt like it hasn't worked for me but I will try the "micro dosing" to see if there's any difference in feel. Thanks for the informative videos :)

[mcratsix]

Thanks for the video, good advice! I think the big challenge is for people who work a 9-5, by the time you get home, eat and wait 3 hours, you’d be going out for all your runs at like 10 PM!

[chrisvanbuggenum]

Thanks Stephen, interesting stuff. Will have to watch it again when i have time to properly watch and not just listen while i work.

Having fats with a carb has been something I've learned to help significantly with how I feel as well as digestion. I usually have nuts with a carb and that does the trick for me 👍🏼

[TommyGunner]

I wake up early and do my long 20-30km runs first thing. I tend to neck loads of water and 120g of liquid carbs and then a bagel and peanut butter. Seems to work ok for me as i haven't bonked since doing that. I do sometimes feel a bit sick for first half hour of the run. What do you recommend when people do their long runs first thing in the morning?

[gdm]

I quite enjoy evening runs but recently found that it's keeping my body stressed into the night and I'm falling asleep 1.5-2 hours later than I want. The worst part is that sleep is being pushed into my morning run times and causing me to have to do my runs at night in an endless cycle. Any ways you've found that reduce evening or night running impact on sleep?

[mirser]

Very helpful and applicable to marathon fueling! Thanks for sharing!!
