Listen "Allen Lim - Founder of Skratch Labs"
Episode Synopsis
Today on the podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Allen Lim, a sports scientist, cycling coach, and founder of Skratch Labs. We covered a wide range of topics related to nutrition and hydration for endurance athletes, starting with the importance of treating food as culture rather than just technology. From there, Allen went on to discuss timing issues for eating before workouts, the difference between water and electrolyte drinks, and the importance of respecting thirst. Allen emphasizes the importance of listening to your body's thirst cues and not overthinking hydration. He says that "performance is sometimes science, but it's also sometimes grandma," which we think sums up his intuitive, yet informed approach to hydration and athletic performance.
