In this Episode, Carole will be talking about nutrition. What is fuelling our performances? She will share her extended experience as an endurance athlete and the knowledge she built as a professional ironman triathlete, an alpine climber and ultra-trail runner. Combining 3 of the toughest endurance sports will help to understand the principles hidden behind each type of fuel available to our body: carbs, fat and protein. When and how much to use those will depends about our needs as endurance athletes. Carole will talk about different types of diets: high-carbs / low-carbs & high fat / low carbs & high protein. She will also refer to the carbo loading party and trendy food diets. Each type of effort will match with a specific diet. Fuelling our body is perhaps the most important aspect of endurance.
