Thanks for doing this excellent critique Alex Alex Hutchinson. If I can just add: Our study was 7 years in the making and was specifically designed to disprove our hypothesis that muscle glycogen/ingested carbohydrate is an obligatory fuel to sustain performance during prolonged

Brady Holmer Everyone’s missing the real story...at an individual athlete level. Previously, while we demonstrated no significant differences across the group in performance regardless of diet...30% of athletes presenting with glucose levels consistent with pre-diabetes on a HCLF, which was



Simon Marwood Sean Sakinofsky ® Randy Woodward Steve Magness Brady Holmer Hybrid Athlete Guy _perelman In the 1980s we were all convinced that muscle glycogen was obligatory for exercise performance. So if an intervention - like a high fat diet - reduced the reliance on muscle glycogen use, then it was "logical" to hypothesise that that intervention would improve endurance


McKirdy Trained Boston Marathon Pro V.O2 What if Marathon fatigue is a central brain effect that is ignored in favour of a much simpler explanation ie too few carbs during the race.? Yet if you study the literature, there’s far more evidence supporting marathon fatigue as a result of changes in brain activity than the



Really enjoyed my day, Ingrid Eythorsdottir! Huge thanks for hosting us at Olympiatoppen. Looking forward to building on these insights and driving innovation in sports performance with you. 🚀📊 #Sportscience30

Great seminar, Siren Amelia Seiler-Viken ! You’re spot on—@athletica_ai can uncover patterns in training data that even the most seasoned coach might miss. But human coach intuition guides the athlete experience. Looking forward to collaborating on integrating these tools into daily routines!

This photo was taken at Olympiatoppen, 🇳🇴’s legendary high-performance centre. Shared the future of training with the sharpest minds in sport. Wild moment: the slide behind me showed where it all began—10y ago, over dinner, with an idea that sparked Athletica. Paul Laursen

Joy-Mari Cloete Plenty. But the main source of fat oxidation during prolonged exercise comes from circulating free fatty acids released from adipose tissue - process of lipolysis. BUT lipolysis is extraordinarily sensitive to blood insulin concentrations - any value above about 6microU/ml will

New data on lifting to failure vs. leaving two "reps in reserve," for twice-a-week single-set workouts in experienced lifters. Strength gains are very similar. For power and muscle mass, slight edge to failure. Impressive results for a minimalist program! outsideonline.com/health/trainin…

How real-life fueling strategies interact with training, adaptation, and performance? We want your input. If you’re curious & up for tracking training data, we’d love to hear from you. l8r.it/Kc94 Andrew Koutnik, Ph.D. Tim Noakes Philip Prins, PhD Paul Laursen Dr. Phil Maffetone
