WHO IS URI CARLSON?
Uri Carlson is the registered dietitian who turns fuelling theory into something a rider will actually do. Her work — and her contribution to the Roadman under- versus optimal- versus over-fuelling experiment — lands on the same practical point the pros have learned the hard way: most amateurs under-fuel their training and then wonder why the quality and recovery aren't there. She's pragmatic about real food versus engineered products, and clear that the best fuelling plan is the one you'll repeat, not the most elaborate one on paper.
CARLSON ON IN-RIDE FUELLING
Carlson’s key positions on in-ride fuelling.
- Most amateurs under-fuel rides and pay for it in quality and recovery — eating enough carbohydrate is the most common fix.
- Real food and engineered products both work — the best in-ride fuel is the one you'll actually take, ride after ride.
- Hydration and sodium are part of fuelling, not separate — losing the plot on either ends the same way as bonking.
IN CARLSON’S OWN WORDS
Verbatim from Uri Carlson’s appearances on the podcast.
“typically what you're looking for is any effort that's like one to two hours three hours long you're looking at about two grams of carbohydrates per kilogram of body weight when you get up into the four plus hour efforts you're looking at double that four grams of carbohydrate per kilogram body weight”
