Topics Covered (time in video in brackets):
- I currently weigh around 11 stone 12 and feeling like I am heavy but I've run 19.05 for 5k. I want to get down to 10st 7 to feel good about myself but I don't want this to affect my running. Am I overthinking things too much? (00:01)
- What can I do to stop cramping in training and racing? (7:50)
- Is there any decent evidence around BCAAs for ultra runners? (13:50)
- I've found that during long distances races in the past (Multiday Ultra's) , I've had gut issues during the first day but recently I've found I perform better on a lower carb intake i.e 60g carb/hr but a higher sodium intake via electrolytes to keep hydrated. I think this is going to be a problem when I start doing longer one day events i.e Montane Spine Sprint, I want to move fast and keep high energy levels! What can I do? (16:50)
- I get terrible nausea after a long training session (20 mile +) or after a long distance event. As an example I did a trail marathon this weekend, fuelled regularly throughout with veleforte chews and bars and took on 1.5 litres of fluid. I felt great during the run but nausea set in an hour after finishing. What can I do to stop this? (23:00)
- When should I take caffinne and what are the benefits? (25:00)
- I feel violently hungry towards the end of some of my long runs? Gels and water just don’t cut it for me. End up craving solid foods but can’t just down a sausage roll on mile 20 of a marathon. (30:45)
- Tips for fuelling appropriately without getting fixated on the numbers? (33:40)
- What is the best budget friendly breakfast before a hard session/race? (36:00)
- How do I manage fuelling for an evening race? (38:00)
- Are there any benefits for taking collagen? Does it matter if it's marine or bovine? (42:10)
- Do athletes need to take supplements, if so what should they take? (44:00)
- How do you know if your gut is in good shape? (47:20)
