@feelthebyrn1 Hey any good resources or articles on how HR (max & say threshold) changes w/ fatigue and how to respond?

[Jackson Long, MS SENr @jacksonlongms]

I think this means Kilian Jornet listened to my podcast?! Great insights into one of mountain athletic's true GOATs. Thanks for all you do @kilianj

@Sportnutrient Thanks for the analysis, here some of the why's:
Protein: for the tests I did on previous races, for me, this amount of protein was good for the post race muscle recovery.
Beetroot: lymphatic system with all going on during race. 👇

@kilianj @Sportnutrient Thanks for the added insight, Kilian. You're a true steward for mountain sports and sports science!

[Jackson Long, MS SENr @jacksonlongms]

Talking ultra-endurance nutrition and insights from @kilianj nutrition and training practices w/ @Sportnutrient on the pod this week. Listen wherever you get your podcasts!

Excited to finally get my hands on this and dig in. Recommended by @MountainRoche podcast. Always in pursuit of improving my coaching and nutrition practice, as well as being my own n=1 experiment! For SCIENCE!

@PeterAbraham @BritishCycling wow. that is unreal

[Jackson Long, MS SENr @jacksonlongms]

@Sportnutrient @runwgl Apparently there's footage of him at an aid station at UTMB scarfing down spoonfuls of the Maurten hydrogel 😂

[Jackson Long, MS SENr @jacksonlongms]

One of the best articles on nutrition by a coach EVER. Sadly there is still such a culture of under-eating in endurance coaching and sport. Thanks, @MountainRoche, for being a leader, advocate, and beacon of light in this space.

Fueling life & training can be an act of love & joy 🧡

Let’s make it fun & encourage a culture of celebration of food in the running community. Athletes can only achieve their potential by stacking years of consistency, which requires eating enough food:

@cyclingreporter @netflix how team tactics are an essential component of how bike racing works at this level. something most people don't realize and was showcased in flying colors this tour.

[Jackson Long, MS SENr @jacksonlongms]

This is good. A major reason I have distanced myself from the "mainstream" vegan community. We shoot our big picture mission in the foot every time we throw fuel into the misinformation fire.

[Brian Kateman @BrianKateman]

Sketchy claims and pseudoscience
will damage the cause of eating plant-based in the long run. Let’s stop with the misinformation, exaggeration, and cherry-picking. My latest for @FastCompany. #vegan #veganism #plantbased #meat #animals #nutrition #science

Big thanks to @Matt_Whitcomb of the @usskiteam for sharing some wisdom and insights on coaching, mental side of sport, and common traps athletes find themselves wading into. Listen wherever you get your podcasts!

@guzmannutrition @mollyjhurford @brady_h @SonyaLooney @JWLevitt I'm a big fan of Zoom H6 and Shure SM58 combo for reliable, clear sound w/ no tech issues. For USB mic I use the Rode NT USB which is solid.

[Jackson Long, MS SENr @jacksonlongms]

@dinagriffinrd @Alan_Couzens Also can't forget about training the gut - lots of research supporting the utility of "practicing how you want to play". Too many athletes go into race day not having tried eating 60+ g CHO/hr in training.

I just published a podcast diving deeper into this topic. If you're an athlete or coach I highly recommend understanding the nuance between energy availability, overreaching/overtraining, and RED-S.

[Jackson Long, MS SENr @jacksonlongms]

“Overtraining” is really “under-recovery” driven primarily through chronic low energy availability (primarily carbohydrate), undermining training adaptation and performance. A thread.

[Jackson Long, MS SENr @jacksonlongms]

Athletes who train hard should:
1. not be afraid of carbs! aim for 5-10g/kg/day
2. fuel well before, during, after training
3. make and stick to a plan - don't rely on listening to hunger signals
4. energy density > nutrient density during heavy training
5. don't neglect sleep

@MountainRoche I experienced acute moldy jello syndrome (AMJS) about 10 miles before the finish of my first ultra last year. Thank sweet baby jesus I had poles to keep me from hurtling down a mountain pass face first. Cheers for triggering my PTSD with such a well-done article !
