Today's podcast is brought to you by two sponsors. The first sponsor is you can. Superstarch.

0:05.9

Superstarch is a carbohydrate that kind of burns not like a carbohydrate. It doesn't give you

0:11.7

this big spike with a resulting crash after. I've actually gone and done testing where I've

0:18.3

tested a lot of the traditional carbohydrates that we have like gels,

0:22.0

chews, and what you get when you put a Dexcom on or a super sapiens, like a continuous blood

0:29.3

glucose monitor on, and you see yourself take one of these traditional really high sugar

0:34.3

carbohydrates is you get this big spike in blood glucose, i.e. energy, and then a

0:40.0

resulting crash. Your blood glucose goes down quite a bit. When you take you can, however,

0:45.0

the ride is much more gradual and it's much longer. So you get a longer source of energy

0:51.5

1:17.5

those sessions by building up speed. By timing carbs in a certain way in one workout or another,

1:24.0

you can go to you can, UCAN.com,-N-D-C-A-N-D-C-A-N-C-O-F-D-R-S-T-RIN, and we put together a blog post with

1:32.2

you-Can on how to actually do that time-carb approach.

1:36.8

Now, while you're there, if you decide that you want to pick up some you-can, you can use

1:40.3
