I did Ironman Wisconsin in 2014. I was 27, and about 4 years into my career as a dietitian (just a bebe!). ⁠
⁠
Endurance sports nutrition has come so far in the past decade (and I can’t wait to see what’s to come in the next 10 years). ⁠
⁠
I have no regrets though, because it was that moment when I crossed the finish line where this idea of working with triathletes, runners, cyclists started. And over time transformed into Alex Larson Nutrition. ⁠
⁠
I’m back into regular training after having 3 kids, gravel cyclist this time. I’m absolutely LOVING it.

I’ve been very intentional about my nutrition and it’s a huge game changer. I just want to shout from the rooftops to all the athletes in the world to start fueling better. ⁠
⁠
So if you’re ready to feel better, have more energy, better performances... reach out! ⁠

👋 Hi! I’m Alex, welcome to my corner of these social squares where we talk about fueling endurance events and our busy lives.

Hot take: You likely don’t need more information about endurance nutrition.

We need to focus more on the implementation of nutrition and how to do it sustainably with the hustle and bustle of life.

Little bit about me:
You will find me over here in the woods of Minnesota living in either yoga pants and my Carb Culture sweatshirts… or in bike bibs riding my gravel bike.

With 3 young kids, a business and 6-9 hrs of training/week I’m all about the minimal-effort meals that keep me and my family well fueled.

Make sure you’re following along here and on my podcast Endurance Eats for the practical, real-world nutrition advice.

And if you’re needing that personalized guidance, comment SERVICES and I’ll send you more details on my 1:1 nutrition coaching program. (We are accepting new clients)

We all know what gels I’m talking about 🤑.

It can feel overwhelming to hear just how many carbs are needed to fuel workouts.

Here are the general guidelines (these are not rules):
0-75min: 0-30g carbs
75min - 2.5 hrs: 30-60g carbs/hour
2.5+: 60-90+ carbs/hour

For athletes who are putting out higher efforts for 2.5+ hours + have the gut tolerance… often fuel above 90g carbs/hour.

And there are certainly variables with fueling depending on intensity of exercise, how well you fueled before exercise, etc.

If you haven’t checked out my podcast, Endurance Eats, comment POD for a link to listen more about fueling guidelines and nuances.
