Well trained individuals may utilise less glycogen/carbohydrate for performance. But in reality the fitter we are and the faster we want to go, we continue to push the intensity, as a result glycogen depletion is still a very real thing even for the most highly trained individuals, hence peak performance determined by the ability to utilise carbs and fats effectively.

Solution

Trained individuals who are in good physical condition may use less glycogen or carbohydrates for performance compared to those who are less fit. However, it is important to note that even highly trained individuals who push their intensity levels and strive to perform at faster speeds still experience glycogen depletion. Therefore, the ability to effectively utilize both carbohydrates and fats remains crucial for achieving peak performance.
