Fitter Radio Episode 531 - Carbohydrate Revolution. Dr Tim Podlogar. Dr Sam Impey.

Shay McLeod of Symmetry Physio won the free race entry to IRONMAN 70.3 Melbourne. He was unable to finish the race due to a calf injury but shares his expertise as a Physiotherapist on how he plans to rehabilitate his calf before his next race in December, IRONMAN Western Australia.

We have a free race entry giveaway to the Tarawera Ultra.

We review the recent Outdoor Magazine article highlighting the revolution of carbohydrates, the now greatly increased ability to digest larger amounts of carbs plus their importance in an athlete's diet. We also discuss the trend for low carb or fasted training and where it might still have its place in a training program.

We share excerpts from our interview with Bora-Hansgrohe World Tour cycling team Nutritionist Dr Tim Podlogar, out tomorrow.
