Great content, thanks for bringing Will on. It would be amazing if you could also bring Dr. Stacy Sims on the podcast one day, particularly for her research on how women's needs can (but not always) differ from men's.
Also, Sodium Bicarbonate neutralizes acidity in gut, so one cannot digest effectively when taking it. So is that why riders are throwing up more? Seems counter productive to take SB.
I'd be interested to know Will's views on getting enough protein as a vegetarian/vegan without filling up too much on fibrous pulses. It seems there is a lot of reliance on chicken and eggs but what if you don't eat those foods?
For me it’s nuts and seeds, put them in a bunch of plain cooked oatmeal alongside dates, raisins, peanut butter and you’re set. I supplement this with minimal amounts of meat, bread and lots of veggies and fresh fruit.
Is there any way to get less nutritional content? It's super important, but it would be great to hear about other stuff than how many grams an hour someone somewhere can eat
I will give them this, at least they pointed out that there's a difference between being able to tolerate the consumption of the carbs and the oxidation of the carbs. Who cares if you can eat 150 grams/hour if you can only process/burn 90?
I really don't see the issue of 'playing catch up', when you physically couldn't eat enough on big days. Your body still requires those missing calories on the rest day, even more probably! Especially as you might have another hard or long day the day after the rest day. It's also pretty pointless listening to, and doing what grand tour riders do!
Great interview. I feel the interviewer had a good excited energy but his questions go on for too long. Watch how Joe Rogan breaks his longer questions up into smaller bite sizes so the conversation is more natural like a conversation rather than an interview. Not being negative, just hoping to improve the overall quality.
I thought the questions were an appropriate length. Not too long. My degree is in Nutritional Science, so framing the questions here were appropriate to get subtler points across. At least to my prerequisite knowledge.
While there isn't a robust body of research, there is peer-reviewed, published research to back up Ashwagandha as being cognitively beneficial for athletic performance: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8006238/pdf/jfmk-06-00020.pdf
@@TrainerRoadyes but look up the potential side effects. Even looking up different products and reading Amazon reviews. Too many incidents for what likely is not a large benefit, not worth the risk imo.
Will Girling is great to listen to. So much knowledge and always wiling to share. Excellent TR podcast.
We agree, and glad you enjoyed it!
This was a very good episode! Would be very interesting to see more studies on fasted 90-120minute LT1 indoor rides
It's been a while since we've dug into the latest research on that. We'll do a review!
Would be very interested also. If that LT1 is higher or closer to LT2, the less carbs you'd need. In theory.

GREAT questions to start off the interview!
Cool interview. Keep up the good work.
i like it!

That's an interesting point, and one of Maurten's main marketing claims as to why their bicarb product is advantageous.
@ ouu, ill give them a shot to see if I notice a difference from other NaHCO3s

How would you define performance in relationship to FTP for example if someone is doing a to our race and holding FTP be considered peak?
That sponsorship break, definitely a head-fake 🤣

Joe Rogan designs his basic questions so his low iq gen z adhd audience can keep up.

Definitely too long of.questions later on in interview/discussion!
Joe Rogan has to simplify his questions so that his MAGA viewers can understand him...
Thats the same guy who recommended Ashwagandha on a different show, so be careful and do some proper research, too.
You would know right, random internet guy.
