Having done quite a bit of running, I have concluded (purely from anecdotal and unscientific research) that for me it's all about duration. I can run and ride on a somewhat full or an empty stomach, and the energy depletion warning signs appear after about the same amount of time expending energy at a certain level. -r -----Original Message----- From: .David.Auker.

What is it about riding that seems to require more "on-board fuel" (food)? I can think of the usual duration of both, where the riding occupies a longer time span (but what about marathoners?), and also there's much less impact/pounding on the body in cycling, so food might sit more comfortably. I know from experience how the dreaded bonk can happen in cycling...maybe it also happens in running, but my own runs are short enough where it's not a concern? Seems to me, though, that a hungry feeling at the beginning of a ride only gets worse, whereas in running it's not the same...(again, the jarring issue might be responsible, as a runners stomach may be much less "in the mood" for food?). Any of you guys have thoughts on this? Thanks, David To respond to the whole group send to ob-@topica.com.
