Started being keto for endurance racing earlier this year after having foot surgery. Training was delayed until a few months ago. I'm now up to 3 hour sessions. Naturally I eat around 10 am and 4 pm and 1-2 times a month I fast for 40 hours.

Couple of questions. Wonder about fueling for races longer than 5 hours? The conventional fueling model is to carb load 48-24 hours prior to race day then carb based breakfast the morning of the race and carb based fuels every 2-3 hours. I have had successful races when fueling this way after learning what does not make my gut bloat causing pain. Have you had an experience with fueling for endurance racing?

And my other question or comment is - my name is Marty and I'm addicted to sugar. My first addition to sugar started in 4th grade when my mom fed me a cookie when I needed a hug. Over the last 10 years I have managed to loose 50 pounds but I still have episodes of binging on sugar. Funny how I justified honey, maple syrup and other "natural" sugars. But sugar is sugar and I am addicted. Any words of wisdom? How do I stop when I'm on a binge?
