We catch up on all the racing and news from the weekend. We bring Dr Jeff Rothschild of the Sports Performance Research Institute New Zealand (SPRINZ) back to the show to talk about the science behind fuelling for endurance sports. The discussion focuses on the daily energy requirements for athletes and the evolving perspectives on carbohydrate diets in endurance performance. We cover carbohydrate intake strategies, the science surrounding carbohydrate loading and the importance of electrolyte balance leading into events. Additionally, insights into current research perspectives in sports nutrition and the necessity of proper fueling for training are explored, emphasizing the need for athletes to understand their individual nutritional needs to maximize training outcomes.
