The secret to unlocking your finish-line kick 🤯😱

Sarah’s been testing what happens when she drinks 20g vs 80g of carbs per hour when running.

In the lab, we found that at 80g of carbs per hour:
📉 She relied less on her glycogen stores
�😌 Running felt easier
�⚡️ She had a faster finishing speed

Turns out, what you consume during a run can make quite a difference.

Looks like we're heading to the gym. 👀

Apparently HIIT can boost your VO₂ max by up to 42% without making you run outside.

Which sounds like a pretty good deal to us.

🏋️‍♂️ HIIT vs. Heavy Weights: Which is better for runners? 🏃‍♂️

Both are good for your running. They just do different jobs.

HIIT can help improve your VO₂ max, while heavy lifting can help improve your running economy.

So, naturally, the answer is both.

Because apparently running isn't enough exercise on its own. 🙄

Got a nutrition question you’ve been too afraid to ask? 😬

Good news. You can ask Marc Fell instead.

Next Thursday, 10 September at 12:30 BST, we’re joined by Science in Sport nutritionist Marc Fell for a live Q&A on everything race-day fuelling.

What to eat. When to eat it. How much to eat. And, importantly, whether you really do need that many gels.

Bring your questions. Marc’s bringing the answers.

60 seconds. One monster hill. Who’s climbing highest? 🧗

Andy’s learning to love hill running ahead of his upcoming training, so naturally we put him to the test against our resident trail runner.

In all seriousness, we love using the KickrRun for taking on our hill workouts. How else can you:

- Simulate the outdoors without battling the weather
- Dial in the exact gradient you want
- Get straight into the hard uphill work

Think you can beat Andy and Mark? Let us know how you do in the comments! 👇

It’s 174km long, has more climbing than the height of Mount Everest, it goes through three countries, and the elite runners will do it REALLY quickly. The UTMB course is HARD!
