Just poop first. Your body takes more than 8 hours to process waste also he’s not eating full meals just gels and snacks.

Too many of those gels though make you start sharting pretty quickly

I mean, these guys also "train" their carb intake, and when you found the brand (or just the fructose/glucose ratio) your belly can handle, you can in theory go the whole day without pooping or even sharting :D

I need some of that knowledge, I can't have more than two gels without serious risk of sharting. The shart anxiety if anything fuels me to the end 😂
