Nutrition is a very individualized thing so you can take research as a good rule of thumb, but not as the only point of view.

That’s completely not true.

Yes, your main fuel source is muscle glycogen during short/medium efforts, and yes you don’t replenish muscle glycogen very quickly, but you don’t have enough to only use that.

Fat etc is also converted to energy, and carbs that you ingest just prior to a workout can get through the digestive tract and into the bloodstream fast enough to get used.

You can’t go hard for 3 hours only on muscle glycogen consumed the day before.

Here’s a good start.
