NDURANZ Podcast

Recovery is often neglected among athletes but is a key part of improving performance. You have to satisfy three needs for optimal recovery, and there are several ways to achieve this. But you have to be quick because the time window for recovery is relatively short.

Your guides to the world of recovery are Tim Podlogar and Tom Kirk.

As the temperature outside drops, more and more people resort to training on the turbo trainer. These are quite different from training outside, as they tend to be shorter and more intense. As a result, they also require a different nutritional plan. This is presented and analyzed in this podcast by Tim Podlogar and Tom Kirk.

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. That goes for cyclists as well. Dr. Tim Podlogar and Dr. Tom Kirk discuss the ultimate cycling breakfast, how adding fructose to it can improve your performance on a bike and when you can skip it.

Tim Podlogar just returned from Italy, where he participated in Sportful Dolomiti Race. Before the race, he did heat acclimation sessions in a heat chamber, which is the main topic of this podcast. Want to know where he finished? Listen to the podcast!

Training camps are the closest amateur cyclist will come to riding a Grand Tour. But even if you're racing only against yourself, you still need to follow the nutrition plan, otherwise, you might have problems completing the training camp.

Presented by Tim Podlogar and Tom Kirk.

Tim Podlogar was a part of a Giro d'Italia winning team, so naturally, he wanted to share his experience. He and Tom Kirk talked about the nutritional traps of the Grand Tour, how much energy three weeks of racing require, why races can't be won in a laboratory and how cycling is evolving.

In the second episode of Nduranz Podcast Dr. Tim Podlogar and Dr. Tom Kirk talk about nutrition on Giro d'Italia and how it differs from nutrition at smaller races. They also delve into the nutrition on Grand Fondos and other amateur races where riders don't have the support of a team. 

Dr. Tom Kirk and Dr. Tim Podlogar know what they are talking about when it comes to sports nutrition. With over a decade of experience between them, you can be sure they have seen it all. They have tried and failed a million times, but they never give up. Each test gave them new valuable experiences that served as a platform for further research.

Today, they are two of the greatest minds in sports nutrition, which is the main focus of NDURANZ Podcast. 

As appropriate for the first podcast episode, you will get to know Dr. Tom and Dr. Tim, before we dive into greater depths of sports nutrition.
