The recommendations above may need to be adjusted based on the intensity of your training and your individual metabolism. Some triathletes use UCAN as the exclusive fuel source for their training and races, while others start off fueling with UCAN and switch over to something else later in the race. Practice fueling in your training to see what works best for you!
