                                Endurance athletes have limited glycogen stores, with the average person holding only about 2,500 calories worth of carbs in their body, making proper carbohydrate fueling a critical component of Ironman success. Understanding how to calibrate your daily carbohydrate intake is essential for maintaining energy, supporting recovery, and avoiding the dreaded 'bonk' on race day.
