September 09, 2022 BONUS: Why Should You Eat Before Working Out?
A lot of people prefer to work out on an empty stomach, for a variety of reasons. In our Study of the Week, We look at the study Starving Your Performance? Reduced Preexercise Hunger Increases Resistance Exercise Performance (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34872065/) which examines the effects of eating vs not eating on performance, which has some surprising results. The takeaway is it's much better to eat something (anything!) before working out rather than approaching a workout on an empty stomach.

August 24, 2022 BONUS: Train Low, Compete High
In our Study of the Week, realistically called Study of Whenever We Can Do These, Chris dives into the concept of Training Low, Competing High. This refers to attempting to force adaptations of metabolic pathways by manipulating carb intake, which will affect glycogen levels. The theory, which has some evidence to back it up, suggests people can increase their threshold before the body taps into glycogen stores during endurance events by keeping a low carb level throughout training and increasing carbs to fill glycogen stores before events. The body, having adapted to such a diet and threshold, will hold out for longer before tapping into its glycogen stores, which should theoretically make an endurance event relatively easier https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6566225/
