Today's podcast guest is Dylan Johnson. Now, Dylan is professional cyclist, a professional

0:06.6

cycling coach, and he is an emerging YouTube sensation. Now, we got exposed to Dylan through

0:13.4

YouTube, where he puts out really science-based content about what actually helps athletes,

0:20.1

because there's so much noise out there.

0:22.7

Some saying, well, you should go low carbs.

0:24.8

Some saying that you should go high carbs.

1:27.5

ultra cycling event like a Leadville 100 kind of training plan. Dylan has written them all and we've
