Show Notes

  1. Fasted training and endurance adaptation. Why fasted sessions may increase fat oxidation but do not always improve performance or training response
  2. What actually drives mitochondrial signaling during exercise. How exercise intensity, glycogen availability, and AMPK signaling interact during training adaptation
  3. Carbohydrate periodization in the real world. What athletes are actually doing in practice and why fueling strategies vary more than expected
  4. Recovery is highly individual. How machine learning and athlete monitoring revealed that recovery responses differ dramatically between individuals
  5. Fueling long endurance sessions without fear of carbohydrates. Why athletes can still maintain high fat oxidation rates while consuming carbohydrates during prolonged training and racing
