This week on the pod, we are rebroadcasting an episode from the Leadville 100 - Mile MTB Podcast, that featured Dr. Sprouse.

From the podcast:
How difficult can it be to drink? Judging by the number of hydration problems you see on race day, pretty darned difficult indeed. Dr. Kevin Sprouse joins us to talk about how to stay hydrated on race day. We also dig into the surprisingly challenging 12 miles between Pipeline and Twin Lakes Dam, and how to achieve your goal for this part of the race: to get to the base of Columbine fueled, fast, and ready to climb.

Thanks again to our sponsor this season, Klean Athlete, for their support of the show.

This week on the Podium, Dr. Sprouse and Patrick discuss travel and jet lag. 

It was a timely conversation as both Dr. Sprouse and Patrick were experiencing a little jet lag as they recorded this episode. Travel can be stressful, especially when you are needing to be on your game when you arrive at your destination, we wanted to share some tips to help make this feel a bit less stressful.

In this episode they discuss:

• jet lag and what it is 
• ways to minimize the effects of jet lag
• how to utilize circadian signals
• strategies to mitigate travel and jet lag’s impact on performance 
• technology and supplements to help ease the transition and make travel a bit easier

A special thanks to Dr. Cheri Mah, one of the world's foremost sleep experts for sharing a little about travel plans and sleep kits!
