Slow & Steady Wins the Race:
The Science of Sustained Energy
We’ve all heard the story: slow and steady wins the race. But when it comes to endurance fuelling, there’s more science behind that idea than you might think.
In Episode 1 of Still Going, 32GI co-founder and nutrition expert Mark Wolff looks at how different carbohydrate sources deliver energy, why faster isn’t always better, and what sustained energy really means when you’re training or racing for longer.
Using 32GI Endure as the example, Mark explains the thinking behind combining different carbohydrate sources - including Palatinose™ - to create a fuelling strategy designed to support energy not just now, but further down the road.
Because endurance isn’t about getting all your energy at once.
It’s about having it when you still need it.
In this episode we explore:
• Why different carbohydrates behave differently in the body.
• Why the fastest source of energy isn’t necessarily the only consideration for an endurance athlete.
• What we mean when we talk about sustained energy.
• What Palatinose™ is and why it forms part of the Endure formulation.
• The thinking behind combining carbohydrate sources rather than relying on one alone.
• Why digestive comfort becomes increasingly important as the hours add up.
• How Endure provides a carbohydrate foundation that can be adapted to an athlete’s individual fuelling requirements.
• Why endurance fuelling needs to work for the everyday athlete trying to keep moving just as much as it does for the athlete chasing a podium.
About Still Going:
Still Going is a 32Gi series exploring the science, strategy and real-world decisions behind sports performance.
From carbohydrate choice and fuelling strategy to the experiences of athletes putting those principles into practice, the series looks at what helps us continue performing as the challenge gets bigger.
Because going the distance isn’t only about how hard you can push.
It’s about giving your body what it needs to keep going.
