Debbie talks about her experiences and observations at Ironman Hawaii World Championship 2019:
- race week "black hole training vs. HIIT/MAF
- less is more...or is more always better?
- sugar water vs. hydration with electrolytes
- why do people drink sugar water and eat candy when doing easy aerobic workouts?
- sugar burner vs. fat burner
- carb tanks s. fat fuel tank
- 2000 calories vs. 20,000 to 100,000 stored calories
- peak fat oxidation
- "if you can't burn it, you store it.
- endurance training - fat burning
- high intensities - liver can make sugar with gluconeogenesis
- carbs are not essential but EFA and Amino Acids are essential
- performance vs. longevity or both
- fat adaptation process off season
- first Annual Low Carb Athlete seminar!
- lessons learned from high carb fuel plan...throw up
- Real Meal Revolution green list what to eat - Tim Noakes
- fueling, training and performing
- UCAN for fuel webinar coming this off-season
- Take the GI Distress out of your race plan!
- Fuel-Train-Perform as a Fat Adapted Low Carb Athlete
- Once you are fat adapted- you can train and race with less fuel, go faster and feel stronger without the sugar crash
- Start with UCAN before your race to keep blood sugar stable then try it on the bike then on the run - fuel as needed and listen to your body.
- Improve recovery and repair by becoming fat adapted- as well as improve the aging process- longevity by improving mitochondria.
- Carbohydrates are not all bad- carb timing for HIIT
- Ironman top ten pro athletes
