0:00.0	That Traathlon Show, 265.
0:17.6	Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of That Traathlon Show, the podcast presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.
0:27.1	I'm our host Michael, and on today's episode, I interview Dr. Trent Stellingworth.
0:31.7	Trent is the Director of Performance Solutions at the Canadian Sport Institute Pacific in Victoria, Canada, where his primary research
0:39.5	focuses are in nutrition and interaction of nutrition and physiology.
0:45.0	And he also has a keen interest in environmental factors and how they impact physiology and
0:51.1	endurance performance, things like heat and altitude training and of course
0:54.9	nutrition and how that interacts with the environmental conditions. In this interview we will
1:01.2	discuss the current best practices from both applied and scientific perspectives when it
1:06.4	comes to endurance and ultra endurance sports, ultra endurance being defined as events lasting for hours or longer.
1:13.4	And I just wanted to say that Trent really is one of the heavy hitters in Endurance Sports Nutrition,
1:18.5	one of the most well-respected researchers in his field.
1:21.8	So it was a great honor to have him on, and I really hope that you will find this episode very interesting.
1:28.3	But before we get into the interview, big thanks to our sponsors, precision hydration
1:32.6	that you can find on precision hydration.com.
1:36.3	Something that quite a few listeners have been asking about is which precision hydration
1:41.7	products to get, because precision hydration produce electrolytes as you know
1:46.0	but they have different ways of providing them so they have sachets and tablets and blister-packed
1:53.3	capsules so i'll be very brief and instead direct you to the article in the precision hydration
1:58.9	website when you go to the shop and you
2:02.5	click on a product, you will have a link that will take you actually directly to an article
2:06.2	describing the difference between the sachets or drink mixes and the tablets and the capsules.
