Fitter Radio Episode 483 - Pre-Sleep Protein. Race Reviews. Simon Cochrane.

Mikki and Bev discuss the importance of pre-sleep protein intake for athletes. They explain how consuming protein before bed can help athletes meet their daily protein and caloric goals, which can be challenging due to busy schedules and time-consuming training. Pre-sleep protein, particularly casein, is beneficial as it is a slow-digesting protein that releases amino acids into the bloodstream over an extended period, providing a steady supply to the muscles throughout the night. This can aid in muscle protein synthesis and recovery. A recent study also showed that pre-sleep protein consumption increases both mitochondrial and myofibrillar protein synthesis rates during overnight recovery from endurance exercise.

Tim joins us for our Coaches Catch Up and we review the weekend's races plus we give you a preview of our interviews out tomorrow with UltraMan World Champion Simon Cochrane and Dr Kate Baldwin of Endurance Movement.

Also, we give a sneak preview of the upcoming Fitter Technique Training Camp in Noosa. Dr Kate Baldwin from Endurance Movement will be providing gait analysis and strength conditioning programs for participants, as well as the opportunities for riders to explore Noosa and the surrounding region in their own time.
