## Resource

Are shortcuts killing what makes sport worth doing? Scott Tindal and co-host Jan dig into the Enhanced Games and performance-enhancing drugs — and why taking the easy route strips away the consistency, the work, and the discomfort that give endurance sport its meaning.They also take on the optimization trap — why athletes become "prisoners to the numbers" with wearables like Whoop and Oura — before getting practical on real-food fueling, protein and meal timing, and the carb-loading science most athletes get wrong. Referenced Study: Carbohydrate ingestion eliminates hypoglycemia and improves endurance exercise performance in triathletes adapted to very low- and high-carbohydrate isocaloric diets ⁠⁠⁠⁠Fuelin on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check Out The Fuelin App⁠⁠
