„Bike riders are becoming more self-aware of what it takes to win and perform and they are embracing these concepts, like F1 drivers. They need to be aware of everything, they‘re almost engineers themselves.“ - @MVAitor

A bit late to promote my own publication due to summer holidays, but great to get our meta-analytical review of pre-exercise hyperhydration and endurance performance published in @APNMjournal. doi.org/10.1139/apnm-2023-03…

It's good to be back! Been a few years since I wrote for the @EscapeCycling crew at "the old place", but now back with a look at 10 year story of ketones, how it came to be in cycling, & where the scientific evidence is at now. xitter.cf/EscapeCycling/status/1…
Ketone supplements a decade on – where are we at? Do they actually help cycling performance? @nextlvlnut has the info you need. escapecollective.com/ketone-…

You may need to eat a little (at most 10-20%) more, but even that might not be true with some isolated or concentrated proteins... 😉

Another study recruiting runners, this time from a good friend of the podcast Erin Colebatch and the team at UniSA.
This one's for runners >35 years old and based in Adelaide, looking at nutrition and injury risk. Get in touch if you can assist!
Alan's latest study (mentioned on last week's pod) is now recruiting runners & triathletes in Melbourne.
Melbourne runners & triathletes:
Interested in optimising race-day hydration? This study is for you!
We're looking at the impact of a specially formulated beverage on hydration before & after endurance running

It’s a popular notion that chocolate milk or electrolyte drinks rehydrate more effectively than water. And if that’s all you consume in the hours after exercise it’s true. But when food is eaten along with fluids, the type of fluid makes no difference: water is just as effective.

A useful systematic review on gut training:
"Gut-training" and feeding-challenge before and/or
during exercise reduces gut discomfort, upper Ex-GIS,
and carbohydrate malabsorption"

Why do I cramp during exericse?
There are so many myths, misconceptions & miracle cures.
But in just the last couple of years, a new model has emerged that represents our best shot yet at explaining why we cramp during exercise...
To learn more, check out our podcast interview with the model's creator, cramping researcher Prof. Kevin Miller (Texas State University), in episode 45A from July 2022.
🎧: podcasts.apple.com/au/podcas…
As well as Kevin's research paper that presents this model, which includes a handy clinical questionnaire to help identify which risk factors are relevant in your situation.
