Nutritional Best Practices for Endurance Athletes
Fuelling for endurance isn’t just about loading up on carbs the night before a race. To perform, recover, and stay healthy, you need a well-rounded nutritional strategy that covers carbohydrates,...

Where Does All the Energy Go? Understanding Hum...
Human beings are remarkably adaptable but surprisingly inefficient at converting food energy into athletic performance. During exercise, only about 20–25% of the energy produced by the muscles is transformed into...

Why Electrolytes Matter in Endurance Performance
When we discuss electrolytes in endurance sports, we typically mean sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride. They are more than just “salts.” They’re essential minerals that keep your muscles firing, your...

Maximising Glycogen Storage: The Key to Athleti...
Glycogen is the stored form of glucose in our muscles and liver. It’s essential for endurance, high-intensity efforts, and recovery. When glycogen runs low, performance declines. When it’s optimised, you...
