    Deep Dive: how to fuel for long distance triathlon

    In this episode of UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE, Robert Gorgos breaks down how triathletes should approach nutrition in the final days before an important long distance race and on race day itself. The episode covers when detailed race nutrition preparation really begins, how to structure carbohydrate loading, why reducing fiber before a long race can make a difference, and what a practical race morning breakfast can look like. Robert also explains how much carbohydrate athletes may need during the race, how to think about fueling on the bike versus the run, and why logistics and tolerance matter just as much as the numbers. On top of that, the episode looks at key race day additions such as pre hydration, caffeine, and cherry based antioxidant strategies, while keeping the overall message simple: no experiments, no panic, and no last minute mistakes. A practical guide for athletes who want to arrive at the start line well fueled, well prepared, and ready to perform.

Laura also shares her perspective on fueling, underfueling in training, race weight myths, and the specific needs of female athletes. From cycle tracking and recovery to long term health and performance, this episode offers a personal look into the realities of elite sport and the lessons that matter far beyond the professional level. If you want to understand what high performance really looks like behind the scenes, and what endurance athletes can learn from one of the best in the sport, this episode is well worth listening to.

    EPISODE 03: CARBOHYDRATES AND RECOVERY: WHAT ATHLETES STILL GET WRONG

    In episode 3 of UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE, host Till Schenk is once again joined by our three leading experts in endurance nutrition and physiology: Dr. Julien Louis, Paul Booth, and Robert Gorgos. Together, they break down one of the most misunderstood topics in endurance sport: carbohydrates and recovery. Why does recovery not just mean protein, what role do carbohydrates really play after training, how important is the so called open window, and what actually matters when athletes want to recover well between hard sessions, races, or training blocks?   The conversation explores glycogen replenishment, liver and muscle glycogen, recovery shakes, nutrient timing, calorie counting, training camps, multi day racing, low fiber strategies, anti inflammatory foods, and why the quality of your food still matters even when performance is the priority.   If you want to better understand how to recover from endurance training, avoid common fueling mistakes, and build a smarter strategy for the days between your key sessions and races, this episode will give you a practical and science based framework.

    Beyond hydration: why minerals are the secret weapon of endurance athletes

    Minerals are essential for endurance performance, yet their role is often underestimated. In this episode of UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE, Robert explains why sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium are so important for fluid balance, muscle function, nerve signaling, and recovery, and why trace elements like iron and zinc also play a critical role for athletes under training stress. The episode looks at how mineral deficiencies can develop, which warning signs athletes should pay attention to, and why fatigue, cramps, slow recovery, and poor performance are often linked to more than just training load. It also covers practical strategies to support mineral balance through everyday nutrition, carbohydrate drinks with electrolytes, and regular monitoring during demanding training phases. A clear and practical episode on how to keep your system aligned and performance-ready.

    Why Bicarbonate can be more than a race day tool

    Bicarbonate is not just a race day tool. In this episode of UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE, Robert takes the topic one step further and explains how sodium bicarbonate may not only buffer fatigue during high intensity efforts, but also support recovery, repeatability, and long term adaptation. The episode looks at how bicarbonate can be used strategically, why timing and dosage matter, how its effect can be prolonged in longer races, and which caveats athletes need to keep in mind, especially when it comes to sodium intake. A practical episode for athletes who want to understand how to use bicarbonate with more precision and purpose.

    Deep Dive: How to choose the right MNSTRY Drink Mix for your exercise

    In this episode of UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE, Robert Gorgos takes listeners through the thinking behind the MNSTRY drink mix range and explains why not every carbohydrate product should do the same job. From SLOW CARB for long, easy sessions and fat metabolism focused training, to FAST CARB, POWER CARB, RACE CARB and the HEAT products for more demanding, high energy or high sweat scenarios, this episode breaks down how each product is built around a specific use case. The conversation also explores one of the most misunderstood topics in sports nutrition: carbohydrate ratios. Robert explains what ratios like 4:1, 2:1 and 1:0.8 actually mean, how glucose and fructose use different transport systems in the gut, and why the right ratio depends on how much carbohydrate an athlete really needs per hour. A practical behind the scenes look at product design, fueling logic and how to choose the right drink strategy for different sessions, intensities and environments.
