Gel Carb Schedule

Turn a known hourly carb target into gel timing, serving fractions, and a simple checkpoint schedule you can carry into training or race notes.

This page sits after bottle planning and next to carb drink planning. It is an educational scheduling aid, not a medical or event-specific fueling prescription.

How to use

  1. Start after the bottle and drink rhythm already look believable.
  2. Enter the session duration, hourly carb target, carb grams per gel serving, the first-gel delay, and the interval you actually expect to follow.
  3. Check the rounded serving size, actual hourly carbs, and the checkpoint list before you copy the summary into your plan.

Move from carb targets into real gel timing

This page fills the gap between “the workout needs carbs” and “when exactly should each gel happen?”

Turn hourly carb targets into a gel-by-gel schedule.

Checkpoint schedule

    How to choose between nearby pages

    Use Workout Hydration Plan when the session rhythm still needs bottle and drink structure. Use Carb Drink Mix Planner when the open question is carb servings per bottle. Use Electrolyte Drink Mix when the missing step is sodium servings per bottle. Use this page when drink flow already looks believable and the remaining question is how gels should cover the carb target across time. Use Rehydration Plan only after the session is over and the question shifts to post-session replacement.

    FAQ

    What does this page calculate?

    It converts an hourly carb target into gel servings per interval, total gel carbs, first-half and second-half totals, and a checkpoint schedule you can copy or share.

    When should I use this instead of Carb Drink Mix Planner?

    Use Carb Drink Mix Planner when the main question is how many carb servings belong in each bottle. Use this page when bottle carbs are already decided and the remaining question is how often to take gels during the session.

    When should I use this instead of Workout Hydration Plan?

    Use Workout Hydration Plan when the flow of bottles, refills, and drink timing still needs to be shaped. Use this page after that, when the drink flow is believable and you now need a gel-specific carb schedule.

    What is stored in the share URL?

    The share URL stores duration, hourly carb target, carbs per gel serving, first-gel delay, interval length, serving rounding step, and the percent of carbs assigned to gels.
