So that's a long duration endurance event, but that is not a fat burning event.
That is a carbohydrate game, right?
If you want to run a marathon fast, that is a carbohydrate game.
If you want to run a really, really long one and you don't care about speed, you're still going to burn a boatload of carbohydrates.
But now we can afford to go slower with more fat oxidation.
And so when we say endurance, there's also like another level of question.
It was like, okay, fast endurance or just like endurance for the longterm.
So all of that goes into our calculus of thinking about how we're going to fuel somebody, how we're going to ask them to recover.
To get to the, like to go back a few minutes earlier, Jordy was talking about this with Ned Brockman, like a thousand miles.
He's not giving him fat only.
He's not on an 80% fat.
Like that is his most fat oxidation possible thing you could come up with, a thousand dang miles.
And he's still relying heavily on carbohydrates to get him through.
So I don't know if that actually answers your question, but you can think about like, that's the stuff that we framed against.
Actually, I think the one thing that's kind of interesting here that does get left, the way that we think about metabolic flexibility is more of an innate human skill rather than an exercise performance one, such that I think you all, we all should have the ability to go for six hours and not have any food and still perform cognitively.
You shouldn't be hangry and cranky because you missed lunch, right?
Like that is now you're in the kind of like, you're not super resilient, right?
whether this is a metabolic flexibility issue or not, if that's happening consistently with you, I would say we have some room to grow with metabolic health, likely, right?
You should probably be able to go 24 hours and maintain cognitive function and maintain physical performance.
If you've ever, you've done some fasting, like longer fasting stuff, right?
