Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many carbs per hour should I aim for on The Fred Whitton Cycling Sportive?
A: For a long, hilly sportive like the Fred Whitton, most athletes should aim for:
- 60–90g carbs per hour if you’ve practised it in training
- 40–60g carbs per hour if you’re newer to fuelling or have a sensitive stomach
The key is start early and go little-and-often. If you wait until you feel empty, you’re already behind.
This can come from Bars, Gels and KMC ISO MIX.
