Working with Fueling Sources

Fueling Sources are the basis for every Fueling Plan. Use the Fueling Sources Source Library view to see every available fueling Source. Sort and filter the list to easily find what you need.

Use the Sort dropdown to sort by Name, Type, Carbs, Fluid, or Sodium

Use the Filter dropdown to narrow by Type (Drink Mix, Gel, Bar, Chew, Electrolyte, Liquid) or by Source scope (Universal, Custom, Roster, Athlete)

Universal Sources (built into the system) are available to all users. Custom Sources — marked with a colored dot — allow Athlete and Coach Edition users to add Sources not included in the universal list.

To use Sources in a Fueling Plan, they are first Applied to an individual profile and then set to Active. Think of Applied Sources as options that could be used depending on preference, duration, and environment, and Active Sources as those that will be used in the current Fueling Plan.

Applying Sources #

Once you’ve identified the preferred Sources in the Source Library, then Apply them by sport.

  • In the Source Library view, click the circle icon in the B (Bike) or R (Run) column to Apply a Source
    • Empty circle — not applied
    • Outlined circle — Applied
    • Filled circle — Active
  • Clicking the circle will cycle through these three options

Note: Drink Mixes and Electrolytes include only the mix, tab, etc. When Applying a Drink Mix or Electrolyte Source and setting it to Active, you’ll typically also want an Applied and Active Liquid, such as a water bottle.

Selecting Active Sources #

Once you’ve Applied Sources to a profile, you then set specific sources to Active for use in a Fueling Plan.

Switch to the Fueling Sources view to see only the Sources applied to the profile, organized by sport.

Click the circle to toggle a Source between Applied (outlined circle) and Active (filled circle)

Active Sources will be used when generating a Fueling Plan. Think of Applied as “available” and Active as “using for this Plan.”

Prioritizing Active Sources #

Active Sources are listed in priority order, which will be taken into account when using the Auto-Fill feature, as the algorithm will increase servings for higher-priority Sources first.

  • Use the up and down arrows next to each Active Source to set the priority order
  • Put the preferred or most important products at the top
