Der Du Wirklich Bist.

I discovered Saturday’s reviews on YouTube and found them knowledgeable, factual and entertaining. Plus, I have learned SO MUCH about fueling and hydration. So, I decided to give the app a try. I’m a non-competitive runner with 10ks and Halfs my primary races, and I have found this app invaluable when it’s time to prepare my hydration and fuel for my training runs. It isn’t just for elite athletes. Are there things that could be improved or functionalities that could be added? Yes. But given this is more of a home-grown app AND it’s relatively inexpensive, I am more than willing to overlook those missing “nice to haves.”

Works well. Fits into my workouts seamlessly.

This is the best fueling investment I’ve ever made, and I don’t know what took me so long to write this review. Saturday takes the guesswork out of having the right amount of fuel for a ride. The support provided for any issues you may encounter is second to none. I can’t recommend this product enough to anyone struggling (or not) with proper fueling.

I love this app. It works well and is clean and simple. I bet it has already saved me a hundred dollars just in one training block and race by not buying gels. I have used it for ultramarathon training and race day execution. It has really helped solve the nutrition puzzle for me. I used to get cramps and lag in energy at later stages. But for my last race when I followed the advice from the app, I felt great the entire race and didn’t have any cramps.

I use it for every long workout and it’s a super easy way to know how much I need to take in during a ride. My recovery has improved a ton since using this and I am much better able to make endurance gains off of my long rides since I am hydrated and fueled properly.

I’m not a racer but my friends and I go on long spirited bike rides. 60-80 miles, maybe 18mph. I have to fuel. The Saturday speed nectar enables much stronger finishes, when I manage to execute them pers recommendations. It’s often logistically difficult and I’m working on flavor aids, strong hibiscus tea is good.

This app has taken me through marathons, 70.3s and distance challenges. It always comes through.

The Saturday app has been a great tool for dialing in my fueling during training. It breaks down exactly what I need in a clear, practical way that’s easy to follow—even during long workouts. The automatic sync with TrainingPeaks is a big plus. My workouts load automatically and the app builds a fueling plan around each session, so there’s nothing I have to enter manually. If you’re training seriously and want a simple, reliable way to plan your fueling, this app does an excellent job.

This app is super helpful in figuring out your nutrition. It lays it all out in easy to understand measurements and has been a great aid in sorting out what I need for all my runs. I will not go back to running without it.

The knowledge and care that has gone into this app is unreal. I know most endurance athletes aren’t as knowledgeable about fueling as they would like and this app meets you where you are. I think it’s a web app or something, native would’ve been nicer but you barely notice.

Hard to believe how simply pantry items can help with training. No GI distress following the recipes for ALL my rides. Amazing how I’m know able to complete tougher workouts with less breaks. At the end of 3 hour outdoor sessions, I don’t feel drained like before when I used the expensive fuels.

So excited about this app! I have been using for two weeks and I am looking forward to trying my new nutrition strategy from Saturday in my next race. So far this program has kept me focused on my nutrition and I have more confidence in my plan.

Saturday takes the thinking out of it and allows you to fuel for your endurance training insanely easily. If you want better performance, you need Saturday.

This has been a game changer for me as an endurance athlete. Gels don’t always sit well and/or the logistics of opening a packet and squeezing it in my mouth while running don’t always work. I also sometimes struggled with getting enough calories especially on the bike when I don’t want to fumble with packets. Using Saturday has made me feel stronger and my training go better with giving me exactly what I need! I also don’t feel as wiped out after long run and bike workouts because I am getting in what my body needs. I love the option to add my own products and make it tasty for me. If you are an endurance athlete you need this app! It will change your training for the better!

I’ve been riding and racing for many years, and the advice from this team has been a game changer. The science and the recipes have improved my performance.

Amazing app and info from Saturday crew on their YouTube videos. I have been an outdoor enthusiast/athlete for most of my adult life and Triathlete, the last 10 years. Between work and busy schedule not having time to put into researching the best nutrition and the right amount. I have cramped and or bonked more times than I can count before Saturday app and videos. Since using the app I have more energy during the workout and ready for the next workout. I’m able to follow the prescribed prep for my next triathlon much easier thanks to also better recovery. Thank you Dr Alex and Michelle!!

My only question is, what do I do with the supplies I’ve invested in but no longer need?

Saturday app has helped me deliver better training sessions using science. I've known for a long time that I sweat far more and with far higher sodium content than most people. I didn't know though how much I was lacking in my hydration and sodium needs on those long, hot training sessions until I began using and trusting the app to guide me. The trust has built over time and by observing the improvements in performance and how I feel during and after my training sessions. I feel like I've done my last Ironman event where I'll be wasting time in excessive pitstops resulting from insufficient fueling.

Must admit, this makes fueling for training/racing super straightforward. Just finished a marathon training block and had success following Saturday’s recommendations throughout. I use this and their sugar/salt water recommendations for short/easy runs and supplement with other more portable fuels (gels/drinks) as needed for longer efforts. Works like a charm and requires no thinking.

Makes fueling a ride a simple. Answer a few setup questions when you first use the app then just input the duration and intensity and how hot your ride is going to be and it tells you how much carbs, salt and water to take. Then you either make up your own mix, supplement with products or go completely with 3rd party products - the app does the math for you. Simple, which means you’ll use it. You’ll be pleasantly suprised how much better you feel if you fuel appropriately.

Took me a while to trust the recipes. Their recommendations kept me riding longer without bonking - it works.

This app is fantastic. It has always been spot-on for my fueling needs, regardless of the distance ridden or run, and accurately adjusts sodium and fluid intake recommendations based on the temps outside and work scheduled to be done. Thanks Dr. Alex and Michelle.

I’m a classic under fueler and this app has been a total game changer. Its worth giving it a try!! I’m hooked and will end up saving a lot of money!

I think the app is extremely smart / helpful. The UI is a little quirky but not hard to use. I highly recommend giving it a try if you’re an endurance athlete especially.

I love how simple this makes things. Stop wasting money on super fancy sports drinks. Go to Costco, get a 5-pound bag of sugar. Go to Amazon, order a bag of sodium citrate. That is all you need. Table sugar is 1:1 ratio of glucose to fructose. Maurten gels are .9:1 - so pretty much just plain sugar. But, if they admitted that, they wouldn't make money. Take the guesswork out. Put some water in a blender, weigh out the suggested amounts of sodium and sugar with a food scale, blend it up. Use this to make a bottle or two of concentrated fuel. Then, simply supplement with additional bottles of plain water to reach targets.

I’ve been doing tri’s for 15 years. Have bought every gadget/gizmo they have come out with. This app and the inexpensive fuel recommendations that you make for your workouts are life changing! I just completed my first half distance race doing the “Saturday Way” and literally did not feel like myself b/c I had so much strength on the second half of the bike and run and most importantly ZERO cramping issues. Thanks to Dr Alex for putting this together.. truly the standard by which fueling recommendation excellence should be measured!

This has worked well for me for distances up to 150+ miles! Way cheaper too!

The creators of this app really gave this some thought and executed well. Very impressed. So easy to dial in on your nutrition and liquids for an activity, it takes the guess work out and I’ve found to be pretty spot on for what my body needed for what inputs I gave it. Well done!!

I have been using the free startup for about two weeks. Got me back on track with my nutrition, or should I say, lack there of. My rides have been remarkably improved, during, after and prepping for the next ride. It helped me relearn what I already knew. However, the ease and simplicity to work with my own preferred products was SOooo awesome. They made it really convenient to work and substitute different products. Thank you! S-

Amazing app, great job at getting the fueling you need, spot on

This is a simple fueling app for endurance athletes and quickly provides diy fuel and hydration blends using simply sugar, water, and salt. I also appreciate the database of commercially available fueling products if I want to consume more than the simple ingredients in my cupboard. The fueling as been pretty spot on after 2 months of IM training.

I’ve been using Saturday Morning for about four weeks and it’s greatly improved my triathlon performance. I was completely under fueling in training and races. Recently ran an Olympic & 70.3 and followed the Saturday Morning fueling recommendations. I felt much better throughout both races and I can attribute that to being better hydrated and fueled. I love how the app gives you the ability to use your fuel/hydration and it will tell you if you’re good or need more. In addition, using the Speed Nectar recommendations has been so easy and saves a ton on money. If you’re an endurance athlete you really need to try this app. It will change how you fuel and hydrate in a positive way.

After reducing my fueling dramatically trying to figure out some allergies, I’d gotten accustomed to no/low but really frustrated by low energy availability. I needed help getting my fueling back on track for 70.3 races. Saturday has helped me do that using a combination of sports products I’ve purchased and things from the kitchen. So far my workouts feel better! (I do think that eventually I’ll be able to figure this out on my own, but right now I need this guidance and reminder).

It is so rare to find an app that gives you more value than the money you provide them. This app has completely broken my dependency on commercial nutrition products and saves me more than $50/month. Better workouts and stronger rescue performances just add to the result.

Takes less than a minute to put in the information in the app I have used Saturday for both training and racing. Works great for both

The hardest part about triathlon has been planning race nutrition and hydration given the events are so long and the products so varied in content. Even having the background of a physiology and MD degree, the product web sites and directions are insufficient to figure out how to meet energy, sodium, and fluid needs with the available products. This app can solve those problems an infinite variety of ways while helping insure you won’t create a disaster pants solution. Nice work!

Cyclist? Rower? <gasp> Runner? Regardless of the type of endurance sport you practice, you need to figure out your nutrition. Saturday does it - well, and science based. Oh, and they have a great, responsive development team!

This app is really great and I’m so glad something exists that doesn’t force you to use specific products. I’m really trying to dial in my nutrition and this has been so incredibly helpful.

🥰

If you’re an endurance athlete, you need this app! This simplifies training and race nutrition while also saving you big $ by allowing you to create your own mixes at home for pennies. You tell the app what your training session or race looks like in terms of length and effort and it gives you a fully customized recipe that has been absolutely perfect for me.

I can’t believe it’s this easy. Have been using for two weeks and just add the additional recommended sugar and sodium and I’m off. My workouts have been noticeably better and so has my recovery. Hope to see more adjustments to the app and integrations in the future.

New to the app and love it so far in its simplicity. A great alternative to spending a lot of money trying expensive fuels. Also helpful for someone with who is still working on optimizing marathon nutrition!

I’m a follower of the Dr. on various forums, and YouTube. The app is great, but I think recovery advice/prescription would make this even better. It’s a missed item, that’s so important to adaption. Thanks.

I’ve been a triathlete for a couple years but a longtime athlete. I’ve never ‘really’ fueled for training or competition beyond a water bottle and some gel packets. Since using the app, training has been so much better. It’s easy to use and intuitive. It’s such an odd thing, I got so used to feeling like crap after training that I thought it was just inevitable. Since fueling properly the fear of feeling like crap is still there, but the feeling like crap isn’t.

Great app for all of your fueling needs. Takes away all of the guess work, either for training or an event. Also offers a great database of products or gives you the option to explore and find other products that might be a better fit based on your need. 5 stars all the way around!

I don’t know much about fueling and hydration while doing workouts or events. Saturday removes my doubt about taking too little or maybe too much.

I’ve been using Saturday since the Beta, and I’ve really appreciated it’s simple, straightforward, effective advice towards training. Before using Saturday, I wasn’t sure how to fuel appropriately, and now I feel confident about the recommendations I am receiving because they’ve worked over hundreds of varied training sessions (e.g., recovery, interval, tempo, VO2 max runs, rides, and swims). If you want to take the guess work out of sports nutrition, give this app a try. Oh, and the best part is that your bank account will thank you because there’s no need for any expensive supplements; sugar and salt is all you need!

No longer do I have to do the mental math of figuring out my carb, sodium, and water intake for long group rides and long rides on the trainer. All I have to do is tell it the duration and effort level and it gives me the total carb/sodium/water amounts to bring and conveniently lets me add my favorite flavor of blue Gatorade powder for flavor.

Before using this app I was seriously underdueling. Even using expensive products like Maurten, I just wasn’t taking in enough(probably due to cost). Now just using sugar, sodium citrate, and water I have never fealt better during and after training sessions and it has been reflected in my performance. This app has totally changed the way I fuel and I couldn’t be happier!!

Love this app. It’s so easy to use, makes me happy engaging with all the colors and fonts, and totally nails every fuel question I had. My training now feels more efficient and I’ve stopped cramming snack after snack down my throat on long days as I’m meeting my fuel needs more effectively. 10/10 would recommend.
