FLUX — your body’s ability to turn food into mechanical power — is one of the most overlooked concepts in endurance performance.

In this episode, I break down what flux really means, why it matters, and how it determines everything from your watts… to your recovery… to your long-term progress as an athlete.

Too many riders worry about weight, leanness, or eating “perfect,” while completely ignoring the most important question:

➡️ Are you eating enough to meet the energy demands of your training?

Inside this episode, I cover:
• What flux actually is (in simple terms)
• Why under-fueling destroys long-term performance
• The difference between chemical energy and mechanical energy
• Why more food → more power, not more weight
• How to identify low-flux symptoms
• How improving flux can transform your training

If you feel tired, inconsistent, or stuck — it might not be a training problem.
It might be a fueling problem.

🎧 let’s get into it.
