There’s a lot of confusion out there these days around carbs, especially in the endurance athlete community.

Are carbs good? Are they bad? Do they have a place in our diet or should we avoid them altogether?

I think you can probably guess my stance on this, especially from the title of this episode “Carbs Are Not the Enemy”.

But if you are one of the many people who are confused about all the talk on whether carbs are good or bad, my goal today iis to help clear this all up for you.

In this episode I’ll explain why carbs are not the enemy, but also why it might be a good idea to keep your carbs low most of the time.
