The Inefficacy of Low Glycogen Training and Nutritional Considerations

The chapter warns against the limitations and potential downsides of low glycogen training, highlighting the minimal evidence supporting its effectiveness compared to normal training. It explores the activation of specific genes due to low muscle glycogen levels and the impact on training performance. The conversation also touches on the challenges of maintaining energetic balance, training timing for recovery, and the implications of training protocols on power output and rate of perceived exertion, particularly for ultra athletes.
