Does fueling timing affect performance?

Fueling timing isn’t just about how much you eat, but when you take it. This discussion breaks down what the research shows when total carbs are matched, comparing steady intake with front-loading and back-loading. It covers impacts on performance, exogenous carbohydrate oxidation, and gut tolerance, with practical takeaways for building a race-day fueling plan that works in the real world.
