In the final episode of this T -12 podcast series, we catch up with our guest athlete Brad, just over 2 weeks after racing the Chicago Marathon. We find out how the race went for him, as well as how our planned strategies for accommodation, carb loading, and everything he’d worked on in the 12 weeks prior to race day turned out. We review what worked well in hindsight, what didn’t, Brad’s key learnings, and what he’d do differently next time.

We’ve often talked about periodised nutrition on this podcast, adjusting the carbs you eat across the week based on your training schedule. But in the down periods, how do you achieve this without being ravenously hungry? And on the flipside, when you do need to load up for a big training session, sometimes it's hard to do this without feeling uncomfortably full and bloated.
In this episode we discuss some of the key strategies to managing hunger and satiety through the ups and downs of a periodised nutrition approach. How to get those carbs in when you don’t feel like eating more, and how to increase the feeling of fullness you get from lower carb, lower calorie meals. By applying these principles you can help to even out the hunger and fullness across the training cycle, even when the carbs and calories are going up and down with training.

Are you someone who’s never quite sure what to do nutrition-wise in the final week before a race? When do you start carb loading? Do you load up on fluids, electrolytes, or both? Do you avoid gluten, lactose or FODMAPs? Should you be adding or removing supplements from your usual routine?
On today’s podcast we’re going to cut through the confusion and provide you with a simple strategy you can use to approach the week leading into your next event. A strategy that will have you arriving at the start line well fuelled but not bloated, well hydrated but not peeing every 10 seconds, and with a reduced risk of gut issues or cramping.

How many times have you had a nutrition goal for your training or race day, researched what to do, made a plan of action, and then…nothing.
It’s one thing to know what to do, but something altogether different to actually do it. So in this episode we’re going to look at one important aspect of this - goal setting for your nutrition. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why so many athletes set the wrong goals for their nutrition, how we can learn from the world’s best athletes and coaches, how to avoid this mistake and come up with goals and an action plan that’s more likely to set you up for success.

It’s pretty much assumed nowadays that pickle juice is a sure fire remedy for cramping. But why pickle juice? What’s in the pickling brine that’s supposed to work? How is it meant to work? And most important of all, does it actually work?
In this episode we welcome back a past guest Prof. Kevin Miller, a world expert in exercise associated muscle cramping and the researcher behind perhaps more pickle juice studies than anyone else on the planet, to gives us some answers.

What’s the deal with cluster dextrin, super starch, hydrogels, and multiple transportable carbohydrates? Why are some companies claiming that ultra slow delivery of carbs into the blood is advantageous, when others are marketed on the basis of rapid absorption? And how do these ingredients affect gut issues, the body’s ability to use carbohydrates during endurance exercise, and ultimately performance?
Dr Dan Baur (Virginia Military Institute) is one of the few researchers in the world that's studied many of these novel carbohydrates. He helps demystify what all these novel carbohydrate terms actually mean, how they’re different, and ultimately, what’s going to suit your training and racing.

Whether you're travelling to altitude to train, or using an altitude tent at home, nutrition can make a big difference to how much benefit you'll get from the lower oxygen environment. In this episode we're joined by Beccy Hall, a sports dietitian and researcher who’s worked with, and studied, elite athletes before and during altitude training camps. We’ll look at the key nutritional issues with altitude exposure, the importance of planning ahead before you even begin altitude training, and the factors to be aware of during and immediately after an altitude training block.
