    Welcome to Episode 129 of the Trail Running Ireland Podcast.

    In this weeks show we analyse once again the topic of optimum fuelling strategies, revisiting our analysis of Tim Noakes latest paper that we discussed in our last show while looking at the recent research paper on fuelling from James Morton's who has worked with British Cycling, Team Sky, elite marathoners, and who is very much in favour of high carbs for prolonged intense exercise.

    How do both papers apply do us as Trail Runners? René Borg from Running Coach Ireland is here to discuss.

    Everyone, get your running gear on, lets go!
