Like Greg, my "main" workout is cycling, so carbs and protein less than an hour before. Usually an egg sandwich and a shake with protein powder, spinach, oat milk blueberries and a banana. It's a lot, but I have a fast metabolism, and except for the egg, that combination is easily digested. An electrolyte gel or a power bar every hour while I'm pedaling. One nuun tablet in one bottle, the other is clear water. My heartrate is about 145 average, max 175 or so according to my monitor.
I know what it is to bonk and I don't like it.
Beet root powder helps the recovery. That and fig newtons.
