Slow carbs are in fashion. There are slow carb diets, slow carb sports nutrition products, and just slow carbs. But do they live up to the hype? This blog describes the theory and evidence around slow carbs bit.ly/3kVh0Ww

The hardest thing about training for endurance sports:
The correct ramp (of both load & performance) is so gradual that it's unnoticeable.
If it's noticeable, it's not sustainable.
Which is why, in the words of Franz Stampfl:
"Training is principally an act of faith"

Honoured to write a chapter in this book with @CL_ultra & @sparks_andy discussing common sport and exercise nutrition myths encountered by coaches and athletes. Fantastic work by the editors @a_whitehead1 & @jennycoady10
Very excited to introduce "Myths of Sport Coaching", edited by the fantastic @a_whitehead1 & @jennycoady10. Amy & Jen have brought together a superb list of practitioners & researchers to debunk, clarify & explain the reality behind some of sport coaching's most pervasive myths🤩
