Fuel for the work required: Carbohydrate periodization can boost endurance performance

🔁 Carbohydrate periodization. The art of cycling carbohydrate intake between hard and easy endurance sessions.

🔥 Let us take you to a classical study from 2005 that ignited all the research on carbohydrate periodization [slide 3-5].

💦 We know, theory is cool, but does it work in practice? Try it yourself. On April 25th we start a community-based endurance program that will last 5-weeks and will challenge you to combine training with carbohydrate periodization [slide 6].
