Another week another bunch of running records which we cover. After this we chat a bit about Tarawera Ultramarathon results and the Tyreek Hill vs Noah Lyles showdown before touching on a new form of doping - Mitochondrial Transplants. We then get to an interview with Dr Andrew Koutnik a researcher studying the influence of nutrition and metabolism on health, disease, and performance about a paper he was an author on; “Carbohydrate Ingestion Eliminates Hypoglycemia & Improves Endurance Exercise Performance in Triathletes Adapted to Very Low & High Carbohydrate Isocaloric Diets”(00:00) Introduction(07:17) David’s Heat Training(10:15) Xylon Turns a Corner (14:00) Community Shoutouts (17:12) Indoor Track Records (21:30) New Half Marathon WR (26:16) Tarawera Results (29:50) Noah Lyles vs Tyreek Hill (32:40) Mitochondrial Transplants (40:30) Interview Starts(42:40) Importance of Science Communication (46:02) What Was Done in the Study?
