Goede vraag, want als je goed doorvoed bent heb je genoeg glucose (in de vorm van glycogeen) in je lijf voor 60 tot 90 minuten intensieve duursport.
This is a guest post from Calvin Huynh inspired by our online PT Course. Calvin did a great job challenging the current dogma by summarizing the relevant facts without going into excessive detail. Carbohydrates once had a terrible reputation with false claims of it being a health destroying, fat...

''Your body already has plenty of stored of carbs in the form of glycogen which just because it’s primarily used over blood glucose, doesn’t mean it uses much.
I don’t know of any research in practical strength training workouts depleting more than 40% of muscle glycogen. Furthermore,
muscle glycogen is highly regulated. The more you lose, the faster it replenishes.
In fact, the moderate amount of glycogen lost after strength training
can quickly be replenished within 24 hours without immediate carb intake or without carb intake at all by utilizing the Cori cycle to recycle lactate.
Long story short, your glycogen replenishing needs just aren’t that high as a lifter because news flash, strength training isn’t that intense compared to endurance-based sports. You might feel tired after a 1-RM deadlift or your legs might be on fire after a few high rep sets of leg extensions, but that’s nothing as far as glycogen loss.
High demanding/long duration sports like
cycling,
soccer, etc lasting well over 1 hour is where glycogen loss actually becomes pronounced.''
Ask a marathon runner or a martial arts fighter how they feel after hours of practice. They feel utterly deceased. That’s what true glycogen depletion feels like.
wel echt lekker is
