Welcome to that Traflon Show, the podcast presented by Scientific Traflon and hosted by me, Michael Erikson.

It's been a while since the last one, but it's just me today with the solo episodes.

I hope that my voice holds up

especially for newer listeners, please follow the podcast and subscribe to it wherever

you're listening. I publish new episodes every Thursday. It's a mix of interviews, co-hosted

episodes, and every once in a while a solo episode like this. But the Thursday timing is chosen

weekend long ride or run. Also, please leave questions and feedback on the episode and other

episodes in the Spotify and YouTube comments. And remember that I put up a poll in Spotify for

every episode where you can rate how good it was. And I use this as feedback to improve the show.

that I'm getting. And yeah, that accuracy of feedback, accuracy of a measure is something that

we'll talk about in today's episode. So let's go on to that. We're going to talk about fat max today and why I think it's one of

the most overrated things that you can test and track as a triathlete. And yes, that applies even

if you're doing Iron Man, contrary to some popular belief, I would say. Now the title of this episode,

I selected to the real problem with fat max. It's not about

carbs versus fat. And that's a quite deliberately chosen title because we have a lot of very

smart people listening. And when you see a title about fat max and in a slightly negative

light, you immediately assume that you know where this is going,
