If you want to race well, you gotta pack in the carbs - before, during and after your big race. But exactly how does that work in real-world scenarios? And what exactly does the science say about it?

On this podcast, we cover six subjects:

-the science of carb loading and pre-ride nutrition

-the practicality of that science

-the science of how to fuel during an event

-the practicality of eating a high volume of calories during an event

-the thing of your neutron

-fueling examples that work for us and our athletes

Coach Christian Parrett and FasCat Founder Frank Overton tee you up with all the info and real-world examples you need to nail your next race - starting days before the event even starts.

Hello, listeners! We have a very different podcast for you today. We've taken your great questions that we normally answer with Coaches in our popular Ask a FasCat episodes and run them through our AI-powered CoachCat to answer them.

Further, the questions are asked by an AI version of FasCat Founder Frank Overton. 

The real Frank explains how this experimental podcast will work at the start of the show, and then analyzes how it went along the way and at the end. As you probably know by now, AI can be surprisingly good with a number of things, but it lacks human judgement.

At FasCat, we are excited to be using the latest technology alongside our professional Coaching with their real-life experienece, not simply choosing one or the other.

Gravel training is not the same as training for the road, and therefore you should pay attention to different power-based metrics. FTP is not as important nor is your peak 20-minute power. Nor your 5-minute power. So what should you be looking at and trying to improve?

In this podcast, we give you the power-based metrics you should pay attention to for your gravel training and racing!

What's important is how long you can ride hard. That's way more important than your 60-minute FTP power when it comes to gravel racing. 

In fact, you can have a low FTP but great 5-hour power. We can that strength 'diesel watts'. Are you a diesel? If so you are probably good at gravel racing!

To see what effective gravel training is like including the new Gravel Power workout described in this podcast, try the FasCat app, where the first month is now free!

Over the years, the internet has twisted the simple definition of FTP.   We are here to bust those myths and set the record straight. Coach Jake and Frank also cover "Lactate Truthers", Zone 2 and finally our favorite the right and wrong usage of ERG mode. 

ERG mode is great but it can be harmful to your training so we discuss.
