Maximum Mileage Running Podcast

Unlock the secrets to fueling your body for maximum running performance with our expert guest, Steven Winrow. As a multi-academically qualified nutritionist from Winrow Performance, Steven lays out the facts about how our bodies use energy and the importance of replenishing liver glycogen after a night's rest. Learn how carbs can effectively fuel your training and discover some practical advice on the best foods to consume before and after your morning run.
Ever wondered if fasted training was for you? We tackle that too, as Steven takes us through the potential benefits and risks of this controversial practice. Especially enlightening is our discussion on how elite athletes use fasted training differently from recreational runners. Plus, we dive into the impact of caffeine on endurance performance, offering a clear understanding of how it reduces perceived exertion, enhances carbohydrate absorption, and improves time trial performance.
We also address energy availability and its link to sleep, setting the stage for a future deep dive into this subject. So, join us for this insightful discussion and walk away with some actionable tips to optimize your nutrition for athletic performance.
