Glucose and fructose are key carbohydrate sources during exercise. Used in the right ratio, they can help your body absorb and utilise energy more effectively. But when the balance is off, whether too much or too little of either one, your body may not be able to absorb and use that energy effectively. That is why understanding carbohydrate ratios and knowing when to use them matters. Taking in 120 g of carbs per hour is not always necessary, and a 1:0.8 ratio is not always the right choice. In this episode of UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE, Robert Gorgos explains why different carbohydrate ratios exist and why, when it comes to training, you should think beyond sugar and focus on the right ratio for the work ahead.

In the first episode of UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE, host Till Schenk is joined by our three leading experts in endurance nutrition and physiology: Dr. Julien Louis, Paul Booth, and Robert Gorgos. Together, they break down one of the biggest topics in endurance sport: carbohydrates. What are the different types of carbs, how do glucose and fructose differ, how much can the body actually absorb, and what really matters for training, racing, gut health, and performance? The conversation explores carb loading, high intensity fueling, fasted training, fiber, glycogen stores, race breakfast strategies, and why carbohydrate intake in daily training may matter even more than race day itself. If you want to better understand how to fuel for performance, avoid common mistakes, and build a smarter approach to endurance nutrition, this episode is the perfect place to start.
