Lecka just turned six. May 21st, 2020 was when it all officially started — a company registered in Ho Chi Minh City, some energy bars made in a kitchen, and a small trail running community in Vietnam. Markus almost forgot the anniversary. His team reminded him.
In this episode, he skips the big reflective speech and gets into what he's actually been building: Lecka Coach, a free race nutrition planner at plan.getlecka.com. You enter your race details — distance, finish time, expected weather, body weight, caffeine preferences, fueling style — and get a personalized plan telling you exactly which gels and bars to take and when. There's a quick version that takes 30 seconds, and a pro version that pulls live race day weather and goes deep on fueling strategy.
There's also a gut training section — a week-by-week program to get your gut ready to absorb race-day carb loads — and a science tab that shows exactly how the recommendations are calculated. No black box.
Markus also talks about what's happening at Lecka right now: new Ultra Gel packaging in production and the first official order heading to China.
If you've ever wondered how much to eat during a race, this one's for you. Follow Lecka Bites for a new episode every week.
