My guest today is Ellen Mcdermott, who as well as being an elite level cyclist for team BoomPods, she also has her own performance nutrition company.

Regardless of what your discipline is or what calibre of rider you are, we all have those targets in mind motivate us to get us out of bed in the morning and jump on the bike.
Ellen has designed a platform to help make reaching those targets that much easier. So you know the hard work you're putting in and the sacrifices you’re making aren’t going to waste.
Performance Nutrition is so much more than “fueling your training”. It’s looking at the entire picture so you can train harder, recover faster and ultimately get to your target event in the best shape possible.
Today, we will be talking primarily about carbohydrates – which along with fat and protein, make up the three macronutrients humans rely on for energy intake. Carbohydrates are arguably THE most important mactonutrient a cyclist or endurance rider needs to be considering, yet, I am constamntly
seeing misinformation, lack of education, and athletes getting many things to do with carbohydrates completely wrong. In doing so, compromising their training, adaption to exercise, recovery, and race results.
In this podcast, expect to learn;

What is carbohydrate manipulation and how should
we use it


What types of carbohydrate you should be considering
at different times and why


How much carbs you should be taking on


Certain timing protocols for that ingestion of
carbohydrates
