Is More Carbohydrate ALWAYS Better for Endurance Performance?! | #74 ft. Aaron Geiser
In this episode of the Critical Oxygen Podcast, Coach Aaron Geiser and I discuss the importance of individualized nutrition for endurance athletes. We emphasize the need to tailor nutrition plans to each athlete's specific needs and goals including individualized fueling in race. Aaron introduces the the right fuel at the right time motto and how EndureIQ uses it to optimize performance. The conversation highlights the significance of proper nutrition in preventing GI distress and improving race performance. We encourage athletes to try different fueling strategies during training to find what works for them.
TAKEAWAYS
- Nutrition needs to be individualized based on an athlete's specific needs and goals.
- Low-carb diets may not be suitable for all endurance athletes, and carbohydrate intake should be tailored to the intensity and duration of the exercise.
- Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in preventing GI distress and improving race performance. Finding the right carbohydrate intake is crucial for endurance athletes, but it is a highly individualized process that requires experimentation.
- Carbohydrate intake on the bike and run should be adjusted based on the differences in movement and GI distress potential.
