Welcome back to my Top 5 — five things worth knowing, two minutes to read. Skim what you want. Read what grabs you.
1. THE BEST FINISH LINE IN SPORTS
Yesterday I was at UTMB in France — the unofficial trail running world championships, 108 miles around Mont Blanc. Records were destroyed. But what struck me is that this is the best finish line in any sport.
The athletes turn the last corner with 300 feet to go, and as a fan you watch them change — from race face to realizing that the last 18+ hours are over, and they conquered it. Few sports let you see that moment. They're in such a deep flow state to the very end (literally until they turn that corner) that you watch them realize it at the same time they do. Then the celebration: the crowd, the chants, the Viking-like theme songs. The best finish line show in sports.
On the fueling side, what I learned is that less is more. Athletes are dropping from super high carb (120g per hour) back to a safer 90g to lower the risk of stomach upset. Nomio is the king of the hill for a performance gain. And apparently brushing your teeth (as some of the female winner did) at the aid station is a performance hack — I'm still researching that one for you.
🥦 Make your next workout easier with Nomio.
2. ABOUT THOSE GLP-1 EMAILS
Last week my inbox got a more than the usual amount of question I didn't expect: what about GLP-1s, Training, and Protein needs.
Without getting into any debate on GLP-1s, one thing is certain: if you're taking one, you need to be serious about your nutrients and protein. And I'd argue it's much more than protein — the calorie restriction means every calorie has to carry more nutrients. It's a great use case for the new Kyoku now that it has a full 30g of protein, and that is just the start.
A protein shake is, well, just a protein shake. Kyoku is a superfood shake (I know, buzzword) that lives up to it: everything from broccoli to kale, plus 30g of protein from whey isolate, whey concentrate, and collagen. It is nutrient dense, so you are getting more than just protein.
One ingredient that is also in Kyoku is PeptiStrong®, the peptide that activates M-TOR which is what triggers your body to build muscle, it is currently being studied in human clinical trials for helping people on GLP1s maintain muscle mass when they are losing weight, plus I find it helps with my workout recovery.
If you're on a GLP-1, or someone you know is, try a Kyoku Super Shake to support your daily nutrient and protein goals with 16g carbs, 30g protein, and only 210 easy digestible calories.
🥤 Try the new Kyoku Super Shake.
3. HELP ME KEEP UP
This August I've had more group rides — faster and more often — than my summer training has me in shape for. At least that's what I'm telling myself. Maybe it's just age catching up. Either way, my cheat code for keeping up is increasing my blood flow. It works. I can even forget to take it, take it that morning, and it still works.
The words as text: what a screen reader can follow, and all there is when images don't load.
