Here’s what we cover:

🔹 What is the real goal of peak week?

🔹 Carb loading 101 – Why, when, and how to do it right
🔹 Different peak week strategies – From front loads to back loads to moderate approaches
🔹 Backstage food antics – What really happens behind the curtain
🔹 Fibre and food volume – Why the day before the show matters more than you think
🔹 Training and fatigue management – How to arrive peeled without being flat
