Summary

This episode was so fun, and it wasn’t just the cinnamon rolls we used for carb research. The main topic was a new study that took a cool design and extended the conclusions beyond their reach, theorizing that athletes should reconsider high-carb approaches for peak performance. We outline where we think the conclusions missed the mark. It makes us uncomfortable to disagree in this way, but we think it’s important for the health and performance of all athletes.

Next, we dove back into our comfort zone with a “No Secrets” Q+A on the best topics! Other topics: the Road To Western States video series getting a green-light for a full season, Megan’s first bike workout back, music during runs and races, how to structure the Trial of Miles, fear before big events, monitoring and improving bone density, and our theories on heat training!

And the Pain Cave Party playlist is here to give you some motivation for your winter training! Listen, and remember the wise words: “You know, technically / I'm not even really supposed to be here right now / So F it / Might as well make the most of it.”

We love you all! HUZZAH!

Trying to make the most of it,

-Megan and David

0:13.0	Yesterday we recorded a decent chunk of a podcast and scrapped the whole thing.
0:17.0	Sometimes it happens.
0:18.0	Scrap the whole thing.
0:19.0	I actually think it was a great podcast. I don't think we had to scrap it, but I respect our decision in this process, which is basically for me,
0:26.6	I wanted you to feel good about it. I want this to be a true party, right? And so where are you coming from on it? for us. And I feel like 99.99% maybe even higher than that, maybe even 100% of people wouldn't
0:40.6	have recognized the fact that my brain was in space and my body was here and my boobs were somewhere

1:11.6	And I understand too, because, I mean, you're so sleep deprived.
1:14.9	And I'm sleep deprived, too, not at the extent you are with the overnight breastfeeding.
