Last weekend I ran a 30 mile training run with 4,000 vert fueling with 200-300 calories per hour. Yesterday I ran an unfueled 14 mile run with 2,100 of vert. I felt worse at 12 miles yesterday than 20 on Sunday.
I believe in both fueled and unfueled training sessions but I disagree that there is some conspiracy to make us eat more calories. There is plenty of science around taking in fuel and the vast majority of elite endurance athletes take in the
"recommended" amount of calories during races.

Are you training for something outrageous and fun? Or just running around in the woods all day for fun?
