What Maurten's Sports Dietitian Wants You to Know About Sodium Bicarb & Other Fueling Strategies

Описание: In Episode 122 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast, I’m catching up with Lauren Thomas, an endurance athlete and the Lead Performance Dietitian for ‪@MaurtenOfficial‬ in the US.

This episode is a grab-bag of topics, all focusing on overcoming sports nutrition challenges to improve performance. From sodium bicarbonate and hydration to real-life fueling logistics, Lauren offers a thoughtful perspective based on her unique mix of experiences.

Lauren and I discuss:

13:23: Why fueling periodization matters, and how under-fueling on shorter training days can derail progress
29:10: Whether sodium bicarb is really worth the hype, and when it may help endurance athletes
37:00: When and how to correctly prioritize fluid, carb, and sodium intake, and why US athletes often overdo electrolytes
44:00: The role of sport culture and race terrain in shaping fueling strategies

FYI: This episode is NOT sponsored by Maurten. We talk about Maurten products, but as always, I encourage you to try a variety of products and strategies to find what works best for you.
