    Episode 85 - Are high carb diets a health concern for athletes? | Dr Nicola Guess

    We’ve often talked about the benefits of carbohydrate for runners, cyclists and triathletes, but for many people there’s an underlying concern - does eating all those carbs increase the risk of developing diabetes or heart disease? It’s certainly a common message that’s pushed online in some circles, but is this really the case? In this episode I speak to diabetes researcher and clinical dietitian Dr Nicola Guess from the University of Oxford, who has often been asked this exact question by concerned runners, cyclists and triathletes. We break down what science tells us about the underlying cause of diabetes, how carbohydrate, exercise and body composition fit into the picture, whether high carb diets are a risk factor for chronic disease in their own right, and whether the approach should be different based on the level of training and fitness, age, family history, and existing health conditions.   Podcast Guest: Dr Nicola Guess - University of Oxford and private practice clinical dietitian   Nicola's online presence: Instagram: @dr.nicola.guess Blog/Substack: drguess.substack.com   Diabetes risk calculators mentioned: AUSDRISK Calculator (Australia): https://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/risk-calculator/ Diabetes UK: https://riskscore.diabetes.org.uk/start American Diabetes Association Risk Test: https://diabetes.org/diabetes-risk-test   Fuelin: This episode is supported by Fuelin, the world's first training-based nutrition app. It syncs with your training plan (in TrainingPeaks, Final Surge, and TriDot or Run Dot) and creates a personalised nutrition plan, built around your training schedule and tailored to your goals.

    It's the 4th birthday of the podcast! And like each previous year, we’re going to look back and provide a brief summary of every question we’ve answered on the podcast in the past year, from “How do I work out my calorie needs for training?” to “Does pickle juice actually work?”, and “What do I do when my race nutrition plan falls apart?”.

    Episode 83C - Is very high carb a thing now? | Brady Threlfall

    Over the last two episodes we’ve been discussing the ‘high carb trend’ - taking in very large amounts of carbohydrate during exercise. Today we’re looking at this topic through the lens of the road marathon, an event where access to your own nutrition products is limited. In this episode I speak to marathon runner, running coach and co-host of the Inside Running Podcast, Brady Threlfall. Brady’s set a new personal best in the marathon this year, and that race included these higher carb amounts. We get his perspective on how higher carb intakes have made their way into marathon running, how he achieves this in training and on race day, and whether he feels it’s been beneficial for him and the athletes he coaches.   Podcast Guest - Brady Threlfall Instagram: @bradytrell Brady's Podcast - Inside Running Podcast Coaching - Run2PB Coaching   Fuelin: This episode is supported by Fuelin, the world's first training-based nutrition app. It syncs with your training plan (in TrainingPeaks, Final Surge, and TriDot or Run Dot) and creates a personalised nutrition plan, built around your training schedule and tailored to your goals.

    Episode 83B - Is very high carb a thing now? | Jack Haig

    In the last episode we investigated the ‘high carb trend’ - taking in very large amounts of carbohydrate (>100g/hr) during exercise.  In this episode we speak to Aussie pro cyclist Jack Haig to get an athlete's perspective. Jack’s professional career to date spans both sides of this high carb trend with almost perfectly symmetry, and so he has a great insight on how this approach took hold in the pro peloton, how it’s changed the sport, and how he achieves such high intakes from a practical perspective.   Podcast Guest: Jack Haig - Bahrain Victorious Pro Cycling Team Jack's Podcast - The Rest Day with Jack Haig (Escape Collective) Instagram: @jack_haig   Rice Krispies bar recipes mentioned: A range of recipes for Rice Krispies bars and other on-the-bike goodies from Pock-It Fuel (Lizzie Holden & Nick Shultz) - Instagram: @pockitfuel   Fuelin: This episode is supported by Fuelin, the world's first training-based nutrition app. It syncs with your training plan (in TrainingPeaks, Final Surge, and TriDot or Run Dot) and creates a personalised nutrition plan, built around your training schedule and tailored to your goals.

    Episode 83A - Is very high carb a thing now? | Aitor Viribay

    You’ve probably come across discussions in the last year or so about the ‘high carb trend’ - taking very large amounts of carbohydrate during exercise, often well over 100g per hour. These levels are significantly greater than official sports nutrition guidelines, so what’s behind the trend? Is it based on new science, product marketing, or is it just another fad that will come and eventually go? And most importantly, is it relevant to you? In this episode we speak to the Lead of Human Science at the Ineos Grenadiers Pro Cycling Team, Aitor Viribay, who has also worked with some of the biggest names in ultra trail running. He discusses how, when and why these very high carb intakes have become a thing in recent years, the scientific rationale behind it, when it’s used vs when it’s not, and whether non-professional athletes need to worry about these levels of intake.   Podcast Guest: Aitor Viribay - Ineos Grenadiers Pro Cycling Team   Aitor's online presence: X/Twitter: @MVAitor Instagram: @glut4science Website: GLUT4 Science (in Spanish) Podcast: 90 Gramos de MetHub (in Spanish)   Aitor's research mentioned: Viribay, A et al.

    Episode 82 - How do I manage hunger and fullness with my training?

    We’ve often talked about periodised nutrition on this podcast, adjusting the carbs you eat across the week based on your training schedule. But in the down periods, how do you achieve this without being ravenously hungry? And on the flipside, when you do need to load up for a big training session, sometimes it's hard to do this without feeling uncomfortably full and bloated. In this episode we discuss some of the key strategies to managing hunger and satiety through the ups and downs of a periodised nutrition approach. How to get those carbs in when you don’t feel like eating more, and how to increase the feeling of fullness you get from lower carb, lower calorie meals. By applying these principles you can help to even out the hunger and fullness across the training cycle, even when the carbs and calories are going up and down with training.   Fuelin: This episode is supported by Fuelin, the world's first training-based nutrition app. It syncs with your training plan (in TrainingPeaks, Final Surge, and TriDot or Run Dot) and creates a personalised nutrition plan, built around your training schedule and tailored to your goals.
