Do larger athletes require more carbs during exercise? We might think this is obvious right? But is it actually the case? “Why think? Do the experiment!” (John Hunter) Our latest paper in @IJSNEMJournal reports on this experiment doi.org/10.1123/ijsnem.2024-… ⛽️ 🚴🏻

Stoked to finally get this work at @MonashNutrExer published in @IJSPPjournal 4.5 yrs (2 COVID-interrupted) after we started, looking at what happens when you sweat test then personalise sodium replacement (or not) during 5 hrs running in the heat. 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1123/ijspp.2023-0…

Just thought I’d put this out again. In case people have forgotten. Because it’s still true: Lowest carbon✅ Lowest cost ✅ Big health benefits ✅ Highest return on investment ✅ I could go on.....
Cycling traffic across England is up 7.4% on pre-pandemic levels. Not only does active travel like cycling and walking promote healthy travel but helps grow the economy through increased high street spending and better access to jobs. #Cycling #Walking #ActiveTravel

Great insights from @JamesEPMoran into how to fuel a tour de France. Some impressive amounts of carbs consumed!
10-11g/kg CHO intake yesterday on the TT day +3g/kg breakfast this morning to prepare for today’s monster stage 17 @LeTour. Riders fuelled ~100-130g/h on the bike. Currently midway thru 4.5-5g/kg recovery 🍬 🥤 🍝 on the bus ⛽️ 🚀 #glycogen
