The Nutrition Episode Every Cyclist Needs to Hear | Reece McDonald (Part 2)

Описание: You've seen the numbers on the packet. 2:1 ratio. 60 grams. 90 grams per hour. Multiple transportable carbohydrates. But what does any of it actually mean — and how do you use it without blowing up your stomach on race day?
In Part 2 with Reece McDonald — head of performance at Embukos and Science to Sport partner — we sit down and break race-day nutrition into language that anyone can understand. No jargon walls, no brand pushing. Just the honest, practical science behind what goes in your bottle, how concentrated it should be, what your pre-race breakfast should look like, and why the stuff you do in training matters more than anything you panic-buy the night before.
If you've ever stood in your kitchen staring at a bag of race mix wondering how many scoops actually go in — this one's for you.
