0:00.0	Welcome to Episode 442 of That Traathlon Show, the podcast presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.
0:29.8	I'm my host Michael, and on today's episode, I interview Dr. Jeff Sankoff.
0:33.3	Jeff is an emergency physician, triathlet and triathlon coach, and in this interview, we use his
0:38.4	expertise as a medical doctor to discuss some of the most important and topical health and
0:43.0	medicine-related questions for triathletes and endurance athletes. Before we get into that, though,
0:48.1	I do want to mention here at the top of the episode that registration for our 2025 training camp

1:27.0	in carb intake from your plan
1:28.6	could be the difference between a PB and walking the last 10 kilometers of the marathon
1:33.5	in an Iron Man for example. So the product that you use needs to still be appealing enough for you
1:38.4	to keep fueling at the end of the race. And this is one of the biggest advantages of precision
1:43.6	fuel hyd hydration's
1:44.4	carbohydrate products. The flavor is quite neutral, only mildly sweet, making it quite easy
1:49.8	to consume as much as you want for hours on end so you can really stick to your plan throughout
