Carbohydrates - science and practice with Tim Podlogar, PhD | EP#354
That Triathlon Show
How to Get in Straightway After a Workout?
I usual recommand to have protein and carbohydrates straightway. I usually like to recommend a dose for carpss, one to one point five ground sperculagram,. bady mass a. And i think it here it becomes also, again, important to combine differentcarbohydrates such as o am or vorc well am. But in amateur athletes, what i'm finding, also, like day to day training, they have a food cravings later in the day, because they basically starve themselves.
Tim Podlogar, PhD, is a Research Fellow at the University of Brimingham, Assistant Professor at the University of Primorska (Slovenia), and nutritionist for the Bora Hansgrohe World Tour cycling team. One of Tim's main areas of expertise is the science and practice of carbohydrates in endurance sports, and this is the topic for today's interview.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:
-Carbohydrates before, during, and after competition
-When and why to use glucose and fructose
-Is 120 g/h carbohydrate feeding superior to the commonly recommended 90 g/h?
-Training in a glycogen-depleted state
-Reverse engineering your carbohydrate intake by looking at upcoming workout demands
-Continuous blood-glucose monitoring
-Training the gut
