Prepare for an onslaught of fuel & hydration education, interview-style, in only the way that two super nerds would deliver it to you. What to consume during training and racing. Carbs. Sodium. Water. Fats, fiber, protein, sugar alcohol, and more are all considered. Carbohydrate oxidation rates. Peak exogenous carbohydrate oxidation rates. Carbohydrate intake rates. Optimal sugar ratios in fuel intakes. When to fuel with higher carbs. When to fuel with lower carbs. How temperature changes fueling needs. Sodium intake rates. Pre-workout carb intake. Post-workout carb intake. Daily carb intakes. Pro fueling strategies of Dr. Tim's pro riders. Psychology around fueling. Weight maintenance, weight loss, weight gain and energy management in the pro peloton. A dozen other random ideas that Dr. Tim & and Dr. Alex's minds wandered towards.
Quick summary:
Dr. Alex: What's the craziest thing you've ever done in trying to research something on yourself?
Dr. Tim: Six hours with a rectal thermometer, on my bike, with a friend.
Dr. Alex: You're kind of special aren't you?
Dr. Tim: I don't think I'm so special, but yeah, not many people are willing to do what I do.
