Expert Edition: Performance is Flavourless, with Joshua Rowe from Maurten

In this episode, Chris and Finlay are joined by Joshua Rowe, a performance scientist with Maurten - the sports nutrition brand built on hydrogel technology who have fuelled every major marathon winner for the last few years.

As well as talking about his groundbreaking research into the effectiveness of hydrogels in endurance sports, Josh explains how Maurten's hydrogel products differ from other gels and drink mixes on the market, and gives expert guidance on how to use them to effectively fuel your next marathon, whether you're trying to dip under the 4:30:00 mark or chasing that elusive Boston qualifier.  The potential of Maurten's products to fuel PBs applies to every runner, not just the ones breaking tapes at big city marathons.

If you like to run long distance races (or aspire to) and you've not heard of Maurten, this one's for you. Even if you're already using it, there's a near certainty you'll get some great information from Josh. 

In less pressing matters, Finlay's back to running ways and Chris is even more of a pretend cyclist than he was before... (To skip the feeble banter portion, skip ahead to 14:47.)
