That Traathlon Show, The 176.

Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of that triathlon show.

The podcast presented by Scientific Triathlon.com.

I'm your host Michael and on today's episode, I interview Professor Sebastian Chitko from the University of Saragossa.

In addition to being an academic, Sebastian is also an endurance sports coach with a particular focus on cycling and a passionate athlete himself.

So we will talk about topics from both an academic and scientific and also from a coaching perspective in today's interview.

But first, big thanks to our sponsors, precision fuel and hydration.

They help athletes perform at their best with electrolyte and fueling products and free online tools, education and a patented sweat test.

You can use the free fuel and hydration planner on the precision fuel and hydration website to get a personalized plan for carbohydrate, sodium and fluid intake.

And you can also book a free 20-minute video consultation to chat through your plan with their athlete support team.

As a salty sweater myself,

their highly concentrated electrolytes are super important to me in long workouts and races, and I think

there are no gels that are as good and easy to consume even in large quantities as the precision

fuel gels. You can get 15% off your first order by using the code TTS-23 on precisionfuelanthad hydration.com. And thank you to Sanate. The Sanate Indoor Swim Trainer is a unique dryland swim trainer that allows you to improve your technique, power and swim training consistency. It is a perfect tool to complement your pool and open water swimming as it allows you to do very specific power and technique work, including working your catch and your core activation,

and it makes it easier to stay consistent even when you can't go to the pool. You can even use it to do activation work before a pool or open water swim, or to do swim bike brick workouts more easily. You can try the Senate risk-free for up to 30 days, so if you don't love it, just send it back. and you can get a special TTS bundle including the swim bench and a bunch of

CNAID training plans and on demand workouts on senateswinterner.com for session. of it, just send it back. And you can get a special TTS bundle, including the swim bench and a bunch of
