Hey everyone! I put together a nutrition guide for competitive functional fitness athletes covering hydration, intra-workout fueling, and carb cycling. Before I finalize it I want a few sets of eyes on it. Looking for 2 - 3 people willing to read through it and give honest feedback on: - Content - does anything feel off, missing, or unclear? - Design / readability - is it easy to follow, do the tables and layout make sense? - As an athlete or coach, would you find this useful? It's about a 15-20 min read. Drop a comment if you're down and I'll send it over. Thanks!

Hey team! I have an athlete competing at NCC coming up in just over a month. This will be their first big in-person event out of country. Competing away from home is definitely a challenge in itself, and so i am looking to hear from those with experience for recommendations on how to navigate that experience. My initial thoughts are around nutrition, considering the situation of living at a hotel vs at home, but welcome any other game day tips you want to share! Any tips and tricks that can make the situation less stressful on an athlete is greatly appreciated. Thanks again! @Haley Ruth

This guide teaches you how to fuel during training so you can maintain power, avoid hitting the wall, and recover faster between sessions. It covers who actually needs intra carbs, when to use them, how much to take, and the best carb sources for different types of sessions. If you train longer than 60 minutes, hit mixed pieces, or train twice a day, this will make a noticeable difference in how you feel and perform

Points out that exercise-induced hypoglycemia correlates strongly with exercise fatigue, much higher than glycogen stores. Also, good podcast discussing the paper in-depth below: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3PR2jkrj0NOnQzlYOJ5LSQ

Hey everyone! I have a discount set up with Thorne and wanted to pass it along to the group. This isn’t a code so if you’re interested, DM me your email address and I’ll manually add you to the list. Just a heads up: I haven’t had the best luck getting this to work for overseas clients, but I’m happy to try!
