Paul Booth is a performance nutritionist and exercise physiologist who works with elite ultra-endurance athletes and teams, including the Salomon International team, and was the nutritionist behind both the men's and women's UTMB winners in 2025, Tom Evans and Ruth Croft. We cover the science and practice of fuelling: how many carbs you actually need, why the high-carb trend has run ahead of the evidence, and how to get hydration and electrolytes right for triathlon and ultra-endurance racing. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: Why Paul calls himself a "90-gram carb guy" and where the carb ceiling actually sits What the science says about 90 versus 120 grams of carbohydrate per hour The physiology of carbohydrate absorption, and how to work out your own intake for an Ironman without lab testing Gut training: building tolerance to carbs and fluid in the weeks before a race A simple DIY method to work out your sweat rate and fluid needs Why hydration, not carbs, is behind most race-day gut problems Electrolytes: what the evidence supports and what is mostly marketing Fuelling through heat, altitude and ageing, plus listener questions on glycogen-depleted training, honey and more SHOWNOTES, LINKS, RESOURCES AND RELATED EPISODES: Follow Paul and Performance Gains Nutrition on his website and Instagram The shownotes for today's episode can be found here.

Success on IRONMAN race day is as much a fuelling equation as a fitness challenge. This episode Coach Rob Wilby works through a batch of athlete questions on carbohydrate intake, hydration, electrolytes and bottle strategy, all framed by the recent heat spells that saw IRONMAN France cancelled, Frankfurt shortened and lots of other European races affected. In this episode:Should carbs per hour be based on body weight? Why gut absorption matters more than size, the 1g per kilo starting point, where the ~100g/hr ceiling really sits, and the truth about those 150g pro fuelling stories.How hard to push carbs in training. The safe way to build tolerance and how to adjust intake in the heat.How much to drink on the bike and run. The 500–700ml/hr starting point, why sweat rates range from 300 to 1,500ml/hr, and how a sweat test plus good record-keeping in TrainingPeaks takes the guesswork out.Refilling bottles on course. Why you don't need to at branded IRONMAN aid stations, Rob's grab-and-cool technique, and how to carry concentrated PFH and dilute on the go for non-branded races.Separating carbs from electrolytes. The case for one concentrated carb bottle and one strong electrolyte bottle.Rob's Almere 2008 cautionary tale. Over-biking, not peeing, going hyponatremic, and coming round in the med tent with two IVs - the race that changed how he thinks about hydration for good.Whether it's your first IRONMAN or 70.3 or you're fine-tuning a hot-race strategy, this one will help you cross the line feeling good rather than in the med tent.* * * * * * * *SPONSORS* * * * * * * *Thinking about your first Ironman or 70.3 in 2026?

The drums of war are beating again in Yemen. A series of recent incidents suggests that both Iran and Saudi Arabia are more assertively supporting their Yemeni allies at the risk of shattering an informal four-year ceasefire in the kingdom's war against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. The recent incidents stand in stark contrast to the kingdom's tacit outreach to Iran. Saudi Arabia sent a delegation to this week's funeral proceedings for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's assassinated supreme leader, enabled the indirect sale of five aging Boeing 777-200ERs to an Iranian airline, and proposed a post-war regional security architecture that would include Iran. Moreover, Saudi Arabia, which intervened in Yemen in 2015 to counter Houthi military advances, has not closed the door on a negotiated resolution of the conflict. “The political solution remains on the table; power-sharing, which could save (the Houthis) from destruction. The Houthis remain a Yemeni player with the right to be a partner in power, not to dominate it,” said Abdulrahman al-Rashed, a Saudi columnist who often reflects official Saudi thinking. Fuelling the rising tensions are rival perceptions of windows of opportunity created by the failure of the US-Iranian memorandum that extended the Iran war ceasefire and created the basis for negotiations to end the war to address Iran's support for its Arab partners, including the Houthis.

Race day success is as much a fuelling challenge as a fitness challenge. And in this episode Coach Rob Wilby answers athlete questions on getting your IRONMAN and 70.3 fuelling and hydration right. From carb targets to sweat rates to the bottle setup that keeps you in control when it's brutally hot, this is your guide to practising it all long before race day.In this episode:Should your carbs-per-hour be based on body weight? Why gut absorption matters more than sizeThe 1g of carbs per kg of body weight starting point, and why ~100g/hr is the gold standard for most age-groupersHow to train your gut: the +5g per hour, per week protocolWhy you should back your carbs off by ~10% on race day, especially in the heatHow much to drink on the bike and run, and why sweat rates can vary from as little as 300ml to as much as 1,500ml per hourThe case for a sweat test to find your personal numbersRefilling bottles on course vs. carrying a concentrated mixWhy you should separate your carbs and electrolytes into different bottlesWhat you can learn from Rob's personal experience of dehydration, hyponatraemia and a finish-line collapseThinking about your first Ironman or 70.3 in 2026?

Go check out our FREE Skool community, it's got amazing tools in there and a thriving community of cyclists - https://www.skool.com/roadman/aboutToday Anthony is joined by Dr. Sam Impey, an expert in performance nutrition who works at the sharp end of endurance sport. We talk about a new study that finally confirms that most cyclists ARE getting fuelling wrong. And the surprising part is, it's probably not the mistake you think it is. This isn't just about gels, drink mix, or what you eat on the bike. It's about a much bigger pattern that shows up across the training week — one that separates how amateurs fuel from how the PROs do it. So today, we're unpacking what cyclists get wrong, why it matters, and how to fuel smarter.One of the tools you will have heard Anthony chat about in this podcast is Training Peaks.

A warning: this episode discusses the trauma and harms surrounding Canada's residential school history. Please listen with care. So much of what we know about Canada's residential schools has been established as fact. More than 150 thousand Indigenous children and youth were taken from their families and required to attend these schools. Several thousand students died.Although all of this is well-documented and verified, there has been a growing discourse calling those facts into question. Researchers, commentators and some politicians have really zeroed in on the 2021 discovery of suspected graves near a former residential school in Kamloops.Academics and Indigenous leaders call this residential school denialism — similar to Holocaust denialism. Many of them have called for adding the denial of residential school history to the Criminal Code as a form of hate speech.Earlier this month, a Nunavut senator brought forward a motion to amend Bill C-9, the Liberals' anti hate bill, to do just that – but it was voted down.Sean Carleton and Niigaan Sinclair have been tracking the rise of residential school denialism in Canada. Their book, “Truth Before Reconciliation: Confronting Residential School Denialism”, comes out this September.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

A court case in Winnipeg has offered a rare glimpse into the mechanics of how human trafficking can work. And it showed that short-rental rentals, like Airbnb and Vrbo, can be used by traffickers while on the move with their victims. But some cities, like Winnipeg, are taking action. Temur Durrani is a reporter for The Globe based in Winnipeg. He explains the story of a Quebec teenager who survived being trafficked and the regulations Winnipeg has put in place to try and combat human traffickers from using short-term rentals. Questions?

The family of Stephen Ogilvie, the victim of the Belfast stabbing, has called for calm and said they don't want the “terrible tragedy to be used to divide people or fuel hostility.”, as Sudanese national Hadi Alodid was charged with attempted murder, threats to kill an NHS radiographer and possession of a knife. Last night, violence spread across parts of Belfast, with police attacked, properties damaged and communities left on edge after a video of the attack was shared online. Politicians and police have pointed to the role of social media, misinformation and outside agitators. But what is really driving the disorder?On this episode of The Fourcast, Jackie Long explores what's happening in Northern Ireland, why immigration has become such a political flashpoint, and whether far-right voices are helping fuel tensions online.Jackie is joined by Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent at The Irish News, former Metropolitan Police officer Victor Olisa, and Robert Topinka, lecturer and researcher on far-right movements and online radicalisation.

What happens when the medical system tells you you're clear, but the hardest part of your recovery is actually just beginning? In this special roundtable episode, brought to you in partnership with Postcode Lottery, we explore the unseen side of living through and beyond cancer.Joining Jake in the studio are legendary solo sailor Dame Ellen MacArthur, Frank Fletcher (CEO of the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust), and Josh Rands, a young survivor who rebuilt his life after a rare cancer diagnosis at just 19. Together, they share a raw, open conversation about why true bravery isn't always something you choose, the reality of life when treatment structures suddenly fall away, and how reclaiming independence on the open sea can give young people their futures back. It's a powerful look at resilience, the daily grind of running a purpose-driven charity, and why finding a genuine sense of belonging is often the ultimate medicine.Postcode Lottery
This week, Michelle, Rahul and Will explore prediction markets — online platforms where people can bet on future events, from elections to pop culture and even world conflicts.Concerns about insider trading are on the rise and platforms are being banned in an increasing number of countries. So as talk of regulation increases, we try to predict the future of the prediction market.Presenters: Michelle Fleury, Rahul Tandon and Will BainProducer: Rebecca Smyllie(Photo: Getty/Yuichiro Chino)

In this masterclass, I'm pulling back the curtain on everything I teach inside my eight-week program Ignite and distilling it into one power-packed masterclass. If you've been doing "all the things" and still feel like your body isn't responding, this one is for you. What We Cover: The difference between metabolism, metabolic health, and hormonal changes — because they are not the same thing, and confusing them is costing you results. The top 5 struggles women come to us with: Metabolic dysfunction (gaining weight, energy crashes, cravings) Hormonal chaos (mood swings, anxiety, irritability) Sleep disruption (why 1–4 AM wake-ups are telling you something) Loss of body confidence and identity Information overload and no clear strategy Why your symptoms are the messenger, not the root cause — and how to start asking the right questions of your doctors, trainers, and yourself. Blood sugar & insulin — the most underutilized tool for stabilizing blood sugar isn't a supplement. It's strength training. Protein: the non-negotiable macro — how much you actually need (hint: most women are underestimating), how to hit 30–40g per meal, and why food prep beats meal prep every time. Building muscle in your 40s, 50s & 60s — what progressive overload actually means, why cardio classes are not your best investment, and the five non-negotiables for real body recomposition. Why eating less and pushing harder is working against you — and what to do instead. Thyroid health & Hashimoto's — what to ask your doctor to test (beyond TSH), why antibodies matter, and how Christine got her Hashi's into remission. The scale is the last metric we use — progress photos, tracking your lifts, and measuring what actually matters. Food noise, GLP-1s & the wellness marketing machine — how to cut through the noise and find what your body actually needs. Key Takeaways: Your muscle mass impacts your metabolism more than your age does One poor night of sleep is enough to dysregulate hunger hormones and increase cravings Consistency over perfection — nail one habit before adding another Stop cutting carbs; your thyroid needs them The boring basics work. My most successful clients are my most "boring" ones. You don't need more equipment — you need more education about your body Mentioned in This Episode: Andrea Donsky's book Nourishing Menopause and her research on 103 symptoms of perimenopause/menopause Dr. Bill Campbell's body composition lab at the University of South Florida MyFitnessPal for macro tracking Jill Harris as a client case study (9 lbs lost, Hashimoto's into remission over 3 years) Vitract / Tiny Gut Health for stool/microbiome testing Let's dive in!

In this Delirious W.E.S.T 2026 athlete wrap-up episode, I catch up with the wonderfully tough, funny and no-nonsense Sym Mercer after her 200-mile adventure. Sym had a chilled drive across the Nullarbor - complete with a very questionable golf performance along the way - and arrived at Delirious ready to finally get moving after months of build-up, planning, podcast check-ins and travel. But, as we all know, 200-mile events rarely go exactly to plan. Early in the race, Sym's pack wasn't sitting quite right, then a couple of unlucky battles with sticks jarred her knee - the second one changing the whole direction of her race. From there, running became difficult, downhill became seriously painful, and what was meant to be a much faster finish turned into a massive hike, grit-fest and full-body exercise in determination. There were dry retches, bile, dirt naps, warmed-up coconut chocolate water, crew checkpoints, toddler-style food negotiations, squeaky pain noises, and one very clear thought from Sym: she did not want to spend another night out there. But at no point did she decide she was done. With her amazing crew - Paul, Ed, Libby, Trace, Ali and her dad - helping her regroup, sleep, eat, hydrate and keep moving, Sym found a way to get herself to the finish line around 1am Sunday morning. It may have been about 10 hours later than planned, but in true Sym style, the job was done. We also chat about coming back to reality after a huge event, the strange brain fog of returning to work, why these big adventures are such a powerful mental reset, and what Sym learned about fuelling in cooler conditions. And because apparently resting is optional, Sym already has more adventures on the horizon, including pacing at West Macs, heading back to Coast to Coast in New Zealand, and taking on Race Across Scotland. This is a brilliant, honest, funny and quietly powerful conversation about problem-solving, crew support, digging deep, and getting it done even when the original plan has completely gone out the window. Why You'll Love This Episode Sym's very casual approach to driving across the Nullarbor and playing golf badly along the way The moment a simple trip changed the whole race How she managed knee pain for a huge part of the 200 miler Why fuelling in cool weather caught her by surprise The incredible role her crew played in keeping her moving Dirt naps, emergency bivvies and “squeaky noise” monitoring The mental simplicity of ultra events - eat, move, change socks, repeat The shock of returning to real life afterwards Sym's reflections on finishing even when the race doesn't go to plan A sneak peek at her next big adventures Tips from Sym's 200-Mile Adventure 1. Things can change in a split second You can be fit, prepared and ready - then one little trip, fall or jar can completely change the race. That doesn't mean the race is over. It just means the plan has changed. 2. Fuelling still matters when it's cold Sym was eating and drinking, but not enough. Cooler weather made it harder to read her body's needs, and that caught up with her later in the race. 3. A good crew is everything Sym's crew didn't just cheer her on - they made decisions, adjusted pacing plans, got food and fluids into her, monitored her condition and helped her keep moving safely. 4. You don't have to feel amazing to keep going Sometimes finishing looks less like running strong and more like walking, squeaking, swearing at bitumen and refusing to stop. 5. Big events strip life right back No emails. No work decisions. No legislation. Just: what do I need to eat, how do I get to the next checkpoint, and can someone please tell me which socks to wear?

Nutrition is one of the most underestimated parts of bikepacking and ultra-distance racing. We can dial our kit, obsess over our gear, train for months — but if we're not fuelling well, none of it matters. This week, Dietician Uri Carlson is back on Detours, and this time we had a very specific agenda: Highland Trail 550 is on the horizon, and this year I'll be lining up for my first time, and I wanted to make sure I left no stone unturned. We get into carb loading — when to start and how to think about it for a multi-day race that lasts a week — resupply strategy, hydration ranges, gut health and the microbiome, what to do when you're too nauseous to eat but still have a long way to go, and why under-fuelling is a bigger threat to your gut than any high-carb gel. A lot of the specifics are Highland Trail flavoured, but the fuelling principles apply to any ultra-endurance adventure you've got on the horizon.

Most people approach a fat loss phase with one thought:“Just hit the calories.”As you get leaner the margin for error gets smaller.In this episode of The Natural Physique Podcast, I break down: • Why hypertrophy performance is heavily fuel dependent • How poor nutrient timing can reduce output • Why food selection matters more later in a deficit • The relationship between glycogen, recovery & muscle retention • Why deep into prep, food becomes more than “just macros”Anybody can create a calorie deficit.The real skill?Maintaining the highest possible level of performance while getting lean.This is the difference between simply losing weight… and actually preserving a physique.
In this special cross-over episode with our sibling podcast, The Shakeout over at Canadian Running, host John Gay speaks with sport science writer Alex Hutchinson about the high-carb fuelling revolution that endurance sports are experiencing. Hutchinson remarks that cycling has a notable role in the latest craze. Check out the discussion that applies to marathon runners, Tour de France riders, and even cyclists like you. Also, editors Matthew Pioro, Matt Hansen and James Bunga, who is finishing up his time in northern Europe, look back on the Classics.
The London Marathon 2026 saw Kenyan long-distance runner Sabastian Sawe and Yomif Kejelcha of Ethiopia shatter the two-hour barrier. Sawe reset the world record for men's, while Ethiopian long-distance runner Tigst Assefa set a new women's world record, beating her own best. In Episode 1831 of Cut The Clutter, ThePrint Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta explains the significance of these developments, how science & tech are fuelling ambition in sports and the super shoe race
In this episode, I sit down with Patrick McKeown to explore something we all think we've mastered - breathing. Turns out, many of us have been doing it wrong our entire lives! We dive into the surprising idea that breathing more can actually deliver less oxygen, and why carbon dioxide might not be the enemy we thought it was.Patrick explains how your breath acts as a remote control for your nervous system, and how simple shifts - like nasal breathing - can improve sleep, focus, and reduce anxiety. This one really hit home for me. Looking back, I can see how my own anxiety, poor sleep, and even negative thinking were tied to dysfunctional breathing patterns I never questioned.The good news? You don't need anything complicated. Just awareness, small changes, and a willingness to retrain something you've been doing since birth.For more information on Patrick's work check out oxygenadvantage.com (Including the Nasal 5K Running Challenge, Free Breathing App, 3-Day Immersive Certification Training, Free Resource Hub, which includes guided audios, podcasts, blogs and more!) and buteykoclinic.com for health-related issues (e.g.asthma, anxiety/panic disorder, sleep).

The race among top AI companies to build ever more powerful systems is accelerating, and so are fears about losing control. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is at the centre of the debate, which came to a head last week after the New Yorker released an investigation about him, and a series of attacks took place near his home. Danny Fortson and Katie Prescott discuss how we got here and why Altman is becoming the face of global anxiety about AI.

In this episode, we speak with Bruce Fleming, CEO of Montana Renewables, the leading producer of sustainable aviation fuel in the United States. Rather than building a new SAF facility from the ground up, Montana Renewables converted a portion of an existing crude oil refinery in Great Falls, Montana to process feedstocks including used cooking oil, agricultural waste, and emerging crops into SAF, renewable diesel, and renewable hydrogen.Fleming discusses:The retrofit model: Why converting an existing crude oil refinery is a fundamentally different capital proposition from building a greenfield SAF plant.Feedstock agnosticism: Why the company is indifferent to which renewable feedstocks run through its system, including its claim to be the first producer to have made SAF from camelina, a cover crop that does not compete with food production and carries a very low carbon intensity score.The investment drought: Why private capital has effectively exited the SAF space, and the direct link between regulatory unpredictability and the absence of long-term investment. The book-and-claim efficiency case: Why separating the physical movement of SAF from its associated emissions certificate could save a dollar per gallon in logistics costs, and how a global book-and-claim system could accelerate SAF adoption.Fuelling small, not large: Why the immediate SAF opportunity lies in general aviation and regional operations rather than long-haul commercial carriers.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Adam Klauber, Chief Sustainability Officer at World Energy, who shares how the book-and-claim model has evolved from a concept to a practical mechanism for scaling corporate demand for SAF.

The pre-race carb-load is a right of passage in the sport of distance running, but in recent years runners' obsession with carbohydrates has reached a level of fanaticism that puts other running trends to shame. A growing canon of research is rewriting what we thought we knew about the body's ability to process fuel during hard exercise, and with some recent studies going so far as to advocate for nearly 5 times the carb intake previously deemed effective, we've entered into what many are calling a full-blown “carbolution”. Add to this an ever-expanding selection of goos, chews, and specially-formulated drink mixes and what used to be the domain of elite athletes has now become the norm for those serious about maximizing their race day performance at every distance, with runners of all abilities chewing, slurping, and guzzling a growing buffet of sugary rocket fuel. This week on The Shakeout Podcast we welcome science writer and lifelong runner Alex Hutchinson back to the show to sink his teeth into the research fueling the hype and find out whether the “carbolution” is just another running fad or if that mountain of pasta the day before a marathon truly is just the tip of the carbohydrate iceberg.

S3 EP6 – Why Running for Weight Loss Backfires... Fuelling Hacks, RED-S & Training Smarter with Sophie (@runfreephysio)In this episode, we're joined by running-focused physiotherapist Sophie (@runfreephysio) to break down the science behind fuelling, recovery, and injury prevention for fitness lovers.With more people signing up for marathons, ultramarathons, HYROX and endurance races, many athletes fall into the trap of thinking that getting lighter, eating less, or pushing through fatigue will improve performance. But in reality, chronic under-fuelling and poor recovery habits are some of the biggest drivers of injuries and progress plateaus.Drawing from her experience as a physio, Sophie explains the patterns she sees most often, from athletes dieting during marathon prep, to the impact of low energy availability and RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) on performance, as well as short and long-term health.We also unpack the science of training adaptation, the importance of carbohydrates for endurance performance, and whether common claims like “running ruins your knees” or “running causes arthritis” are actually true.Whether you're training for a marathon, half marathon, ultramarathon, HYROX, or simply trying to make real progress in the gym, this episode will help you better understand how to fuel properly, recover effectively, and avoid common training traps.In this episode, we cover:*Why running a marathon or ultramarathon should NOT be used as a weight-loss strategy*A physio's take on the most common mistakes made by athletes*What is RED-S? The dark side of underfuelling...*Adapting your fuelling and recovery strategy to overcome plateaus*Active Recovery vs True Recovery*You should STOP avoiding carbs*Importance of energy balance for endurance*Debunking myths like “running ruins your knees” or causes arthritisThis episode is a reminder that better performance does NOT come from eating less, shrinking yourself or training to exhaustion, it comes from fuelling properly, recovering well, and training intelligently.When you work WITH your body, rather than AGAINST it by providing it with enough energy and training smart, you build strength, resilience, and long-term performance.NOTE: At the time of recording, Sophie's social media handle was different. Her current handle is @runfreephysio
