-Importance of carbs for endurance athletes
-How your body uses carbs + general recommendations for Gen pop/athletes
-Dangers of under-fueling
-How to go about incorporating more carbs/improving your relationship with them
-Training zones, substrate utilization and considerations for different training intensities
-Why are so many people obsessed with fat adapting these days?
-Common fat adapting/low carb strategies in the performance space
-What life lessons can we learn from running?
+ so much more in-between.
