#7 Gels and Fueling with Bill Armstrong of Never Second

Bill Armstrong, co-founder of Neversecond and the official on-course fueling sponsor of the Buffalo Marathon, joins the show to break down one of the biggest shifts happening in endurance sports today… fueling.For years, runners were told to take in 30 to 60 grams of carbs per hour. That’s changed. In a big way.In this episode, Steve Gonser sits down with Bill to unpack what’s driving the move toward higher carbohydrate intake, how elite athletes are fueling at levels once thought impossible, and what that means for everyday runners preparing for race day in Buffalo.The conversation covers the evolution of fueling strategies, the science behind multiple transportable carbohydrates, and how consistency and precision in fueling can directly impact performance late in races.Bill also shares the thinking behind Neversecond, how the company approaches product development, and what runners can expect from on-course fueling at this year’s Buffalo Marathon.If you’re training for race day, this episode will help you better understand how to fuel, when to fuel, and how to avoid the late-race fade.Connect with NEVERSECOND:https://instagram.com/never.second/https://never2.com/Connect with RunSmart:https://instagram.com/runsmartofficialhttps://runsmartonline.comLearn more or register for Buffalo Race Weekend:⁠https://www.thebuffalomarathon.com/
