UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE

Protein has become one of the most talked-about nutrients in endurance sports. But do athletes really need as much as they think?

In this episode of UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE, Robert Gorgos and the team take a closer look at what protein actually does for endurance athletes, how m6uch you really need, and why some of the traditional rules around protein timing are being challenged by new research.

From animal versus plant-based sources and the role of leucine to recovery shakes, race-day nutrition and protein needs as we age, this episode separates what matters from what is mostly hype.

The key takeaway: protein matters, but getting more of it is not automatically better, especially when it comes at the expense of the carbohydrates that actually fuel endurance performance.
