(Wylder is now available on iOS + Android.)

In this episode, Josh and Jesse Rich discuss the importance of nutrition for runners, particularly focusing on the week leading up to a race.

They explore strategies for carb loading, the significance of glycogen, and how to optimize race day nutrition. Jesse emphasizes the need to balance fiber intake and carbohydrate consumption to ensure optimal performance without gastrointestinal distress.

In this conversation, Jesse Rich and Josh discuss the critical role of nutrition in athletic performance, particularly in endurance sports. They explore carbohydrate loading, race nutrition strategies, and the importance of post-race recovery meals.

  1. The week before a race is crucial for nutrition, focusing on carb loading and fiber tapering.
  2. Glycogen is stored glucose that provides energy during races.
  3. Refined carbs are encouraged the week before a race to minimize fiber intake.
  4. A disciplined race nutrition strategy can prevent bonking and improve performance.
