Hi Saturday Morning Fan,
We endurance athletes love to suffer. It's essential to rediscovering ourselves and realizing new possibilities. Whether it's pushing ourselves through rain or shine, up mountains, in the pain cave, or in the pool before dawn, we wear our suffering as a badge of honor.
But even though the need to push ourselves to the limit is ingrained in us, are we truly reaching our FULL potential? What if there's MORE we can give? How can we make our suffering really count to achieve the results we REALLY want?
The truth is, restricting is limiting to us. The pursuit of the "perfect physique" is a distraction. The idea that we need it to perform or feel like we take our goals seriously is a lie.
What we really need is more carbs. Better fueling. If you can handle more carbs (which is often the case), you'll experience a host of benefits, including:
- Reduced fatigue: more carbs keeps your nervous system and muscles fueled, reducing fatigue and enhancing pain tolerance.
- Higher top speeds: more carbs makes sure your nervous system and muscles are primed for maximal effort.
- Higher average speeds: regularly fueling throughout training results in you running faster on average.
- PR's: All of the above = you achieving new heights in your performance.
I know, it almost sounds too good to be true! But that's just how fueling works. None of the fancy products and premium supplements. Just science 馃憡 |
