Ep 203 - The Other 22 Hours: The Real Secret Behind Faster Running (with Dr. Marc Bubbs)

A few years ago, US run coach; Brad Hudson told me to read 'Peak' by Dr. Marc Bubbs - and it genuinely changed how I think about performance.

So it was pretty special to finally sit down with Marc.

For those who don’t know him - Dr. Bubbs is a performance nutritionist who’s worked with Olympic athletes and pro teams (including Canadian Olympic programs), and he’s spent years in high performance sport figuring out what actually moves the needle.

We got into the stuff that matters:– why your training session isn’t the main event… it’s the other 22 hours.

– how sleep, nutrition and life stress quietly drive performance (or hold it back).

– why most runners are either overthinking or under-fuelling.

– and how the best athletes just keep nailing the basics, over and over again.

No gimmicks here. Just really solid thinking that’ll probably make you reflect on what you’re doing day to day.

If you’re chasing improvement — or just feel a bit stuck — I think you’ll get a lot out of it.

Have a listen.
