2025/10/19

There’s been a lack of clear guidelines around how much sodium to take before, during and after exercise, to optimise health and performance. That created a vacuum, which anyone with a vested interest was more than happy to fill with suggestions. But we’re now getting to the stage where we can make some more specific, quantifiable recommendations about sodium for endurance athletes, before, during and after exercise. I had the privilege of being invited to put these recommendations together, so in

There seems to be two types of endurance athletes - those who are always getting sick when their training volume increases, and those who don’t. But why? In this episode we investigate the evidence around nutrition, the immune system, and illness in athletes, and come to a conclusion of what you can do to prevent getting sick during those hard training blocks, and bounce back quickly when illness does strike.Fueling Endurance eBook | T -12 Race Nutrition Course | Practitioner Resources The

Fish oil, or omega-3 supplements, are one of the most widely used supplement among the general population. But there's also been suggestions of specific benefits for athletes. So what exactly are omega 3’s? What do they do in the body? What foods and supplements do they come from, and most importantly, do the benefits live up to the marketing hype when it comes to health and performance?

If you’ve ridden a bike or run more than an hour or so in your life, you’ve probably considered the composition of what you’re drinking during those efforts. But what actually makes a good sports drink? Is it taste, carbs, electrolytes, osmolality, colouring, or all of the above? And is there actually an optimal drink mix that we should be looking for? Or is that a well spun marketing myth?Fueling Endurance eBook | T -12 Race Nutrition Course | Practitioner Resources The Fueling Endurance eBook

Multivitamins. About half of endurance athletes use them. There’s often an assumption that if you’re doing a lot of training, then you need a multivitamin. Or at least you should take one just in case.But is that actually true? Do runners, cyclists and triathletes actually need a multivitamin? And if so, how do you choose? And what should you look for?

We’ve all experienced that cool mint sensation from toothpaste, mouthwash, or mint flavoured foods before. So when you’re racing in a hot environment, can this cooling sensation change how hot you feel, or even help you perform better? And is there any downside to this?

Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming many people's go-to for answers to their sports nutrition questions.

When we think of injury prevention for runners, cyclists and triathletes we tend to focus on non-nutrition factors - training loads, shoes, biomechanics, stretching, foam rolling, strength and conditioning, and so on. But what about nutrition - does it have a role to play too? We're joined by sports dietitian and ultra-runner Erin Colebatch, whose current research seeks to answer this question.Podcast Guest: Erin Colebatch - University of South Australia & Ultra Appetites Erin's online

For the last few years the diabetes drug Ozempic has taken the weight loss world by storm.

On today’s episode we’re dissecting how sports nutrition evolves over time. The diets, the foods, the supplements, and the attitudes to health, body composition and performance. How and why does this stuff change over time, and can that tell us anything about the future? As much as we’d like to think things are always evolving for the better based on new scientific research and insights, that’s definitely not always the case.Fuelin: This episode is supported by Fuelin, the world's first

Over the last two episodes we’ve been discussing the ‘high carb trend’ - taking in very large amounts of carbohydrate during exercise. Today we’re looking at this topic through the lens of the road marathon, an event where access to your own nutrition products is limited. In this episode I speak to marathon runner, running coach and co-host of the Inside Running Podcast, Brady Threlfall. Brady’s set a new personal best in the marathon this year, and that race included these higher carb amounts. We
