Show Notes
- Not for human consumption. How Plews and Prof started, and the ketone ester we ordered straight from Sigma.
- Fuelled or fooled. No extra glycogen sparing above 90 g/h, the GI bill that comes with 120, the missing 90 g arm in the 60 vs 120 study, and the Kona champion who won on about 50 g/h on the bike.
- Less is more in the heat. Why your gut and your pacing have to come down together in Kona, and why pros end up spewing on Palani.
- Uncle Rico goes to HYROX. The strength numbers from the sub-50 paper, plyos for athletes over 40, cycling and rowing to build the engine without wrecking your legs, and the 90-minute long-run cap.
- The vagal tank. Resting, reactivity, recovery, why HRV drops in a taper and that’s fine, and Dan reading the book’s acknowledgements out loud.
- Ten years on. What held up, what we’ve softened on, and whether either of us would survive the old Plews and Prof comment section today.
