Ep. 171: Sugar, Sweat, and Science: Debunking the Myths of Carbohydrate Fuels in Endurance Sports & Navigating the Triathlon Journey with Trivelo Coaching

from The TriDoc Podcast, triathlon and health in one place

In this episode:We’re diving into the chaos of triathlon training this week, and trust me, it's not a walk in the park. Our guests today, the dynamic duo of Gerard and Jordy Donnelly, are here to spill the tea on why nailing your power output is like trying to juggle flaming swords while riding a unicycle—nearly impossible, but oh-so-rewarding when you get it right! They’ve seen countless beginners pedal like they’re in a wind tunnel, struggling to keep their power steady against Mother Nature’s whims. We’ll also chat about the absurdity of athletes questioning their race plans like they’re trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded. If you’ve ever thought about how to balance fun with performance, this episode is for you. So grab your favorite gel (the kind that won’t send you spiraling into a sugar crash), and let’s get into some serious triathlon talk!Segments:[08:57]- Medical Mailbag: Can sports fuels lead to diabetes?[31:56]- Interview: Gerard and Jordy DonnellyLinks@trivelocoaching on Instagram Jordy and Gerard's Website Jordy and Gerard on YouTube
