Research-backed takes

Pick a topic. Each one opens my full take: the claim, what I do about it, and the studies it stands on.

Carbs per hour

I've trained my body over the years to go from 100 to 160 grams an hour, and this is where I perform the best.

The carb load

I go 8 grams of carbohydrates per kilogram of body weight.

Tapering

Runners don't always need to taper.

Caffeine

I recommend everybody just uses caffeine as a PED.

Heat training

Heat training after seven to 14 days acts as a natural performance enhancer.

Super shoes

Carbon shoes are not going to replace training.

Lactate and thresholds

Lactate is not bad.

Recovery

Recovery is not something you buy.

Under-fueling

You're not overtraining.

Bone loading

Stress fractures don't happen because you ran.

Train like it's programmed. Because it is.

Everything on this page is already built into the training I write. Bring the goal, I bring the system.
