  • Fachlich top - leider etwas dröge

    Zweifelsohne einer besten Podcasts rund um das Thema Ernährung für ambitionierte Ausdauersportler. Die Protagonisten wissen, wovon sie reden, haben gute und verständliche Tipps, Beispiele, Hinweise. Aber leider ist das Ganze etwas dröge vorgetragen und vom Konzept her noch nicht ganz stimmig. Wäre ich nicht so ein Nerd (und als Diplom-Oecotrophologe auch einigermaßen vom Fach), würde ich mir den Podcast wohl nicht anhören. Im Moment werden die Folgen wie eine wissenschaftliche Arbeit vorgetragen... more

  • Fachlich top

    Für mich vom Wissen her, einer der besten deutschsprachigen Podcasts. Dadurch dass es mehr oder weniger hochgeladene Webinare sind, leidet leider der Sound.

    MONS mach Nahrung und demzufolge ist es natürlich immer indirekte Werbung, was aber absolut nicht stört oder aufdringlich ist - im Gegenteil.

    Gern noch mehr Inhalte Richtung Training. Splittraining, gern neuste Studien mit einbauen und evtl auch das Thema Gadgets ansprechen. Denke das Thema Nahrungsergänzung ist irgendwann auch mal nix neu... more
