Understanding how carbohydrates function as the primary fuel source becomes critical the longer we go, and Annie offers insights to dispel common misconceptions around this topic.

Drawing from her extensive background in sports nutrition and personal experience as an elite athlete, Annie shares the current and latest fueling guidelines along with practical advice on how to optimize fueling strategies before, during, and after training sessions.
