Fueling Questions, Answered.
The science behind every plan.
Modern sports science supports 60–90g of carbohydrates per hour for rides over 90 minutes. Trained athletes using multi-transportable carbs (glucose + fructose) can absorb up to 90g/hr. For rides under 60 minutes, fueling is generally unnecessary. Musette calculates your personal target based on workout duration and intensity.
Most endurance athletes need 400–1000mg of sodium per hour, depending on sweat rate, heat, and duration. High-sweat athletes or those racing in hot conditions should target the higher end. Musette calculates your sodium target automatically based on workout type and intensity.
For a moderate-intensity 2-hour ride, aim for 60–90g carbs per hour, 500–1000ml fluid per hour, and 400–800mg sodium per hour. Musette generates an exact product list — gels, drink mix, bars — from your own inventory to hit those targets precisely.
60g/hr uses a single carbohydrate source (glucose) and is the ceiling for most athletes using standard products. 90g/hr requires a 2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio using multi-transportable carbs — found in products like Maurten, SiS Beta Fuel, and Precision Fuel. Musette knows which of your products support each protocol and builds plans accordingly.
Maurten Drink Mix 160 provides 40g carbs per 500ml bottle; Drink Mix 320 provides 80g per 500ml. For a 3-hour ride targeting 80g/hr you'd need approximately 6 servings of Mix 160 or 3 of Mix 320. Musette calculates the exact quantities from your available products and generates mix-ready bottle recipes.

Yes. Musette supports cycling, mountain biking, running, and multisport events. Fueling targets are adjusted based on sport type, duration, and intensity so every plan is appropriate for the session.
For a 2-hour ride at moderate intensity, target 60–80g of carbohydrates per hour. At high intensity (FTP 85%+), push toward 80–90g/hr using a multi-transportable carb product (glucose + fructose blend). That's 120–160g total — achievable with 2–3 gels per hour plus a carbohydrate drink mix. Musette calculates your exact target and builds a product plan from your inventory.
For rides over 3 hours, start fueling in the first hour — not just when you feel depleted. Aim for 60–90g carbs/hr using multi-transportable carbs, 500–750ml fluid/hr, and 500–800mg sodium/hr, adjusting upward for heat and high sweat rate. Pre-load 20–30 minutes before the start with a gel or bar. Musette builds the complete plan around your products so you know exactly what to carry and when to take it.
