    The document discusses beating "bonking", which refers to hitting a wall due to low blood glucose levels during exercise. It explains that glycogen is the stored form of glucose in the body that provides energy. When glycogen levels are low, the body experiences symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, and hunger. To prevent bonking, athletes should consume a high carbohydrate diet to maintain glycogen stores and fuel working muscles and organs during exercise. Coaches should advise athletes to eat carbs to avoid hitting the bonk.
