There's been lots of chatter about baking soda as the hottest supplement of this summer's Olympics. Now there's also a peer-reviewed study supporting the claim that Maurten's new version works - and not just for short mid-distance events: outsideonline.com/health/trainin…

Delighted to be working with @precisionfandh this year. Been using their carb drink mix (mix with their hydration 1500) and flow gels on the bike this year, training the gut for 80-100grams of carbohydrates hour in preparation for this season. ⁣ ⁣ #precisionfuelandhydration

As a start to 2024, 30 years of thinking about and studying endurance training distilled down to 12 lines: 1. Start with universal good practices, then sport specifics, then individual optimization. 2. Training is an optimization challenge, not a maximization challenge. 3. Focus on the big things first, not marginal gains. Think Maslow’s Hierarchy. That solves many problems. 4. A consistent and sustainable training process eats epic interval workouts for breakfast. 5. Simple metrics like program compliance tell us a lot. Keep the monitoring simple. 6. Good scientists, coaches, and athletes all share curiosity, deliberateness, and intelligent failures. 7. Triangulation and “Heads Up Displays” help pilots and athletes alike stay on target. 8. Detailed periodization models are generally overrated and under-validated. 9. Rest days are highly UNDERRATED. 10. Physiology is COMPLEX but training prescriptions should NOT be. 11. Think fewer Intensity zones, not more. 12. If the training PROCESS balances deliberate efforts, deserved recovery, & daily smiles, the results will follow.

Sports nutrition guidelines recommend a max of 90g of carbs per hour. But endurance pros are now pushing to 120g/hr and beyond, and new science shows the body can handle it. The unanswered question, at this point, is whether it makes you faster. More⬇️: outsideonline.com/health/trainin…

First time on the planks this winter with @GetActiveRunnin and @rachael_run. Bonnie kept everyone amused with her orange snowsuit!

#GBDuro Kit list video I did for @SunartMedia now on YouTube link below; youtu.be/rZoWvo9mC_o?si… @suunto

A cracking day on the Brothers and Sisters of Kintail with @GetActiveRunnin. Days don’t get much better than this in northern Scotland!

Went for a ride with @SunartMedia the other week and chatted about what a trail runner is doing cycling and the Kit I used for the #GBDuro in the summer. Full kit video will be published this Sunday @vango @suunto @we_are_sungod youtu.be/oUxOpzLh30w?si…

A stunning long run in the mountains with @GetActiveRunnin yesterday. Sea, snow and summits, the perfect combination, followed by homemade pizza at the Campbell household afterwards!

The #Aspero is all packed and ready for Istraland race, a quick 400km blast around the Istra Peninsula tomorrow.⁣ ⁣ Will be interesting to see how my legs have recovered from #GBDuro last month, ⁣ Live tracking link ⁣ whip.live/event-tracking…⁣ ⁣

This is what Misty was staring at in photo above! Her treat for posing for the 📸!!

Pre race kit photos are a lot more simpler when 🏃‍♂️That is my @cervelo #Aspero loaded up for another adventure and on the 🚂 heading to Lands End for #GBDURO23, which starts Saturday. Unfortunately there was no space for Misty! ⁣ follow the race at⁣ ⁣ theracingcollective.com/gbduro

Great day out yesterday with @SebBatchelor on the Badgers Divide.

@AllyBeaven If you leave now I think you could still make the start of the #HT550!!!

@AllyBeaven 🤣🤣🤣

Nothing beats a cold beer after a long ride!! The Seven Serpents Quick Bite 500km gravel race, was beautiful and brutal! Happy to take 🥈!

I have actually done a podcast where I did not talk about running!! Am I having a mid life crisis! 😲😲😲 Have a listen to me and ⁦@SunartMedia⁩ chat about ultra gravel cycle racing on Always Another Adventure podcast podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/alw…

@okoch @vango I think they a very similar, not used or pitched a Nordisk but can say the vango was easy to pitch and is bonkers light. Think vango has a higher Hydrostatic head

@GetActiveRunnin @vango Been looking at this and wondered how it compares to the Nordisk Lofoten ULW. Looks fantastic.

Delighted to have @vango supporting me this year as I venture into the world of ultra endurance bike racing ⁣ blown away by how light their Bike-packing kit is, their F10 Neon UL tent under 500g 😮⁣ ⁣ not sure how I am going to fit the 🐺 onto my bike⁣ ⁣ #SpiritOfAdventure

@ultrabritton Congratulations on both accounts.

Very happy to be back in the British 24hr team this year, with my running and coaching hats on. Well done to all selected!
