Episode 39
In this episode Chris and Finlay do a deep dive into how to fuel for endurance sports, from the half marathon up to ultras.
Taking on the correct nutrition to sustain long, arduous training runs and to allow the body to execute on race day is an area frequently neglected by everyday athletes, with it too often being relegated to an afterthought.
This episode looks at the science behind why the body needs to take on extra carbohydrates and electrolytes during longer runs and races, and lays out the tools to put into practice an effective nutrition plan.
