Fuelling an Ultra-Distance Bikepack Race: Uri Carlson on Nutrition for HT550 and Beyond
<p>Nutrition is one of the most underestimated parts of bikepacking and ultra-distance racing. We can dial our kit, obsess over our gear, train for months — but if we're not fuelling well, none of it matters. This week, Dietician Uri Carlson is back on Detours, and this time we had a very specific agenda: Highland Trail 550 is on the horizon, and this year I'll be lining up for my first time, and I wanted to make sure I left no stone unturned. </p> <p>We get into carb loading — when to start and how to think about it for a multi-day race that lasts a week — resupply strategy, hydration ranges, gut health and the microbiome, what to do when you're too nauseous to eat but still have a long way to go, and why under-fuelling is a bigger threat to your gut than any high-carb gel. A lot of the specifics are Highland Trail flavoured, but the fuelling principles apply to any ultra-endurance adventure you've got on the horizon.</p> <p>You can also find the blog post version of this episode on <a href="https://detourscycling.substack.com/p/fuelling-an-ultra-distance-bikepack" rel="noopener noreferrer">Substack</a></p> <p>Follow Uri on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/uri_carlson_nutrition/" rel="noopener noreferrer">@uri_carlson_nutrition</a></p> <p><p>Follow Mel on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/melwwebb/" target="_blank">@melwwebb</a></p><p>Follow Detours on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/detourscycling/" target="_blank">@detourscycling</a></p><p>Follow Albion on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/albion.cycling/" target="_blank">@albion.cycling</a></p><p>Use code DETOURS15 to get 15% off your next order from <a href="https://www.albioncycling.com/">Albion</a></p><p>If you love this show please consider pledging your support to sustain producing this show: <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/detourspodcast" target="_blank">https://buymeacoffee.com/detourspodcast</a></p></p>
