Whether you’re prepping for your first 5-mile ruck or training for a 12-hour endurance event, fueling matters — and Kyle makes it simple.In this episode we cover:Why overall nutrition matters more than your pre-ruck mealWhen carb loading actually helps (and when it does nothing)How caffeine boosts alertness but doesn’t provide true energyWhat to eat during longer rucks — including quick carbs that digest easilyWhy protein does not fuel your rucksHow to personalize your fueling strategy to match your intensity, terrain, and environmentPractical hydration advice: electrolytes, sodium, and how much water you really needIf you’ve ever been confused by nutrition advice, overwhelmed by supplement claims, or unsure what to eat before and during your rucks, this episode will finally give you the clarity you’ve been looking for.Links & ResourcesValley to Peak Nutrition: https://www.v2pnutrition.comV2P Podcast: https://www.v2pnutrition.com/podcastFollow Kyle on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/v2pnutritionFollow The Rucker’s Edge on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theruckersedgepodNotes:Music Credit: "Play This Game" by Black Rhomb.
