Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Deena Kastor's Advice To All Runners Over 40
Q: How did changing your mental approach translate into performance results?
Her switch to a more positive, goal-focused mindset allowed her to enjoy the process, which correlated with faster times and breaking records; the change wasn't about new workouts but about reframing effort as a meaningful game and reducing the negative, cortisol-driven thoughts.
The ONLY 4 Supplements You Need To Run Faster For Longer
Q: What is the practical takeaway for someone looking to optimize carbohydrate intake for a race?
Start with a baseline of 30 to 90 grams per hour, then tailor based on duration, intensity, and GI tolerance; avoid assuming higher is always better, and practice fueling strategies in training to find what your gut can handle.
2 UTMB Wins Prove You Don’t Need 120g Carbs | Paul Booth
Q: Is there evidence that mouth rinsing with carbohydrate solutions can affect performance in long ultras?
There is some evidence suggesting a CNS stimulatory effect when glycogen is depleted, but the practical significance varies, and more recent research indicates the effect may occur regardless of glycogen state; the perceptual boost is not necessarily tied to a specific amount consumed.
2 UTMB Wins Prove You Don’t Need 120g Carbs | Paul Booth
Q: What is the role of glucose-to-fructose ratio at higher intakes, and does it affect GI comfort or oxidation efficiency?
A mixed approach around 0.8 to 1.0 (glucose:fructose) tends to improve overall oxidation and gut comfort up to about 90 g/hour; beyond that, changing ratios can yield diminishing returns and may increase GI distress if pushed too high.
2 UTMB Wins Prove You Don’t Need 120g Carbs | Paul Booth
Q: For recreational runners without access to a lab, what practical rule of thumb could they use to estimate their carb needs?
Start with a baseline around 60 g/hour, test gut tolerance on long runs, and build a buffer by exposing the gut to a little more in training than you plan to use in race conditions, while adjusting for pace, duration, and heat.
