You’re not going to gain much fitness in the last few days before a race but nailing your carb load can give a huge boost in performance.

We’re bringing together registered dietician Travis Wilson and running coach Andie Cozzarelli to help you master the art of the carb load with topics including:

  • How long before race day you need to start increasing your carb intake
  • How to know how many carbs your body needs
  • Whether to focus on whole grains or fast-absorbing simple carbs like pasta and white bread
  • Examples of what to eat at each point in the carb load as your race approaches
  • How to fix common fueling problems like cramping and GI upset

Making carbs your friend will help you to hit your paces for longer without feeling fatigued and Travis helps us to understand the science behind how this works.

This week’s show brought to you by:

Previnex Joint Health Plus

Joint Health Plus from Previnex is clinically proven to reduce joint pain, joint stiffness,and improve joint flexibility in 7-10 days.

In fact, it is clinically proven to be up to 5 times more beneficial than glucosamine and chondroitin alone or in combination.

I saw immediate results when I started using Joint Health Plus and that’s why I reached out to Previnex to see if we could put together an offer for you guys.

If you’re suffering from joint pain or simply want to get a jump start on protecting your joint health as you get older, head to runnersconnect.net/joint and use the code RTTT15 to save 15% on your first order.

Pique

We’ve done quite a few podcast episodes on the performance benefits of caffeine.

But, if you’re like many runners I know, pre-run coffee often leaves you with jitters or stomach issues.

That’s why I was so excited when I found Nandaka by Pique—the ultimate coffee alternative designed to power your runs, your training, and your recovery.

So, what makes Nandaka different?

Most so-called “coffee alternatives” don’t actually provide functional energy. But Nandaka is built for endurance

Unlike coffee, which spikes your energy and leaves you crashing mid-run, Nandaka fuels you with steady, sustained endurance—no spikes, no crashes, just clean energy that lasts.

Nandaka provides its caffeine from fermented probiotic teas, which provide a slow-release caffeine that prevents jitters and gives you sustained release for those long runs workouts.

It also contains cordyceps mushrooms, which help boost VO2 max, delivering more oxygen to your muscles for better endurance

Plus, the probiotic teas mean no digestive distress like you often get with coffee.

If you’re tired of running on fumes—or worse, running on coffee crashes—it’s time to make the switch.

Right now, Pique is offering 20% off for life AND a free Starter Kit with your first purchase.

Go to Piquelife.com/run and start running on real energy today.

Your legs, your lungs, and your PRs will thank you
