Fantastic to see new studies on CHO metabolism & performance: - Accelerated endog. CHO oxidation impairs durability: shorturl.at/0XKDA - 100 vs 60 g/h CHO enhances durability: shorturl.at/v4SYn - 10–150 g/h dose-response & CHO personalisation: shorturl.at/HcZBo

Today marks 1 year in my role with @RBH_ProCycling. Easily the fullest year of learning, challenges and growth. Thankful for the opportunities to work with incredible athletes and colleagues. Proud of the progress we've made, but even more motivated by what's still ahead!

A nice new study suggests taking bicarb/carb gels (5mg bicarb, 40g carbs) during a 3-h ride improved 12-min time trial performance. We need more of these studies which try to replicate the demands of a cycling race. But the performance results should be interpreted with caution..

So the physiology says the delivery system works. Whether the magnitude of the performance effect is real, partly placebo, or specific to this test order is still open.

Bottom line for practitioners: Good evidence the gel raises blood bicarb during exercise without GI cost The performance gain is promising but unblinded, from a small, non-elite sample.

Booking flights to go back to the UK next week. Vienna > Munich > Manchester = 163GBP If I go to Munich and get the same flight Munich > Manchester, it's 230GBP. How does that make sense?
