Ep 128 - Do we slow down because muscles run low on glycogen, or because the brain is protecting itself from falling blood sugar levels - a sweeping new review!

Welcome to Episode 128 of the Trail Running Ireland Podcast

We have a coaching special this week with René Borg from Running Coach Ireland talking to us about a sweeping review from the famous South African Sports scientist Tim Noakes and his team asking whether we slow down because muscles run low on glycogen, or because the brain is protecting itself from falling blood sugar. Get ready guys for findings that could systematically dismantle more then 50 years of sports nutrition dogma.

Everyone, get your running gear on, lets go.
