My Thoughts on Excessive Carbohydrate Intakes

Sports scientists have consistently shown that the mean upper limit of exogenous (supplemented) carbohydrate oxidation rates is 1.5 g/min or 90 g/hr. Yet, we're hearing reports of endurance athletes taking on well above 100 g/hr. Why?

Is anyone basing their carbohydrate intake on personalised testing or a simple "more is better" approach?
