Summary

Professor John Hawley is one of the leading researchers in the world on sports nutrition, the interaction between exercise and diet on fat and carbohydrate regulation, and the cellular and molecular basis of endurance sports adaptations. He gives us a complete update on what we actually know as of today about endurance sports nutrition, and where evidence is still lacking.   IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -Nailing the basics of endurance sports nutrition - what's most important to consider and get right? -Getting clear on commonly misunderstood terminology in the field of nutrition -Beyond the basics: the impact on endurance performance of manipulating carbohydrate availability, nutrition periodisation, and day to day diet -Fat, carbs, and their impact on inflammation and recovery, insulin response, and body composition -How do elite endurance athletes actually eat? -Common myths about and mistakes amateur athletes make with nutrition   SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts181/   THAT TRIATHLON SHOW HOMEPAGE: www.thattriathlonshow.com   SPONSORS: Precision Hydration - One-size doesn't fit all when it comes to hydration.

We started these studies of high fat in 2002, and we didn't go into these studies, as scientists should do, with a paradigm thinking, you know, this isn't going to work.

0:11.6

We wanted it to work.

0:13.1

As a scientist, you go in with a hypothesis of no difference.

0:16.3

It has no consequence to us whether X diet or Y a diet work.

0:20.4

So if high fat diets had worked, we've done

0:23.3

10 or 15 studies now, we would be prescribing them for athletes. They don't work. So that's why

0:30.3

you do the science, you give the message to the coaches and the athletes. But again, the message

0:35.5

seems to get mixed somewhere up in the social media.

0:40.3

That's Traflon, So, 181.

Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of That Traathlon show, the podcast presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.

1:05.1

I'm your host, Michael, and on today's episode, I interview Professor John Hawley.

1:10.4

John is one of the leading experts and leading researchers in the world on

1:14.6

endurance sports and nutrition, having done plenty of work in fields like the

1:20.3

interaction between diet and exercise and the cellular and molecular basis of endurance

1:26.2

sports adaptations.

1:28.0

And today he joins us to give a complete update on what we actually do know, what is fact, what is fed in today's world of endurance sports and nutrition.

1:38.3

So let's get into that as soon as we thank our sponsors, Pre that you can find on precision hydration.com

1:45.8

and if you've listened to my entry with Andy Blow who is the founder of precision hydration,

1:51.1

you know that some people can lose as little as 200 milligrams of sodium per liter of sweat,

1:56.5

whereas for some people it can be over 2,000 milligrams per liter.

2:00.7

And when you add to that that people's sweat rates can differ by a five or sixfold

2:05.9

variances, then it's clear to see that you need to put an emphasis on what your individual
