This week on the podcast 🎙️ Mikki is joined by returning guest Dr Dan Plews talking through training strategies that he’s currently interested in, the difference in the types of gels (i.e. maurten v other gels) and if they make a difference. Mikki and Dan revisit metabolic health and Dan chats about his race at Challenge Roth, and what he’s training for now.
