episode 13: the one about sports nutrition

In this week's episode, Hannah & Ali talk all things sports nutrition. After laying the foundation in “the one about exercise” last episode, they knew they needed to dive deeper into fueling exercise with food & fluids. Hannah & Ali head to the research with the help of sports dietitian Nicole O'Byrne to answer your questions. What is the difference between aerobic & anaerobic exercise, and do you need to eat differently for each? What’s the deal with carb loading, and do you actually need to eat a big plate of pasta the night before a race? What about drinks, gels & bars; are they a big hoax or will they actually improve your performance? Lace up your runners & jump in as Hannah & Ali tackle the complex world of sports nutrition in this final episode of Season 2. Spoiler alert… Season 3 is coming soon to headphones near you!
