Luke Tulloch is a coach who has been based out of Sydney, Australia for over 13 years. He has a University degree in Neuroscience and travels the world for in-person seminars. Luke is currently focusing on online education about training, lifestyle and nutrition for coaches and the general population.

In this episode, I chat with Luke Tulloch about how to work towards body composition goals while still maximising endurance performance. We discuss the balance between reducing bodyweight and maintaining energy for training and racing, genetics for body composition, fat loss strategies, and ways to increase muscle hypertrophy even when doing high-volumes of endurance training. 

If you are someone who has any desire to change your body composition, whether for aesthetics or for better performance, this episode is for you!
