There's no doubt about it. Our interview with Noakes opened a lot of questions, which is great because it keeps the conversation going. Noakes was fantastic to speak too and while we shared 90+% of the beliefs there are some we don't hold especially when it comes to performance. As you know we are all about health but we are also heavily invested into performance and there are some very key areas where we are seeing performance drop when following a LCHF approach. So we decided to get our good friend Peter Defty on another Fat Black and discuss the points. In Today's Episode We Cover:

To say we are excited about this episode is an understatement! In fact Kristian stayed up past midnight to fit in with time schedules for this one! Tim Noakes shouldn't need an introduction, he has played a pivotal role in health and performance research for over 30 years. In case you don't know about Tim .... (crazy thought), he wrote the bible for runners and running coaches in 1986 called 'The Lore of Running" which included a whole chapter on the importance of carbohydrates for athletes and runners. His stance publicly changed when he ripped out that nutrition section of his famous book stating we had got it so wrong. In Today's Episode We Cover:

We love an adventure - especially one that pushes the comfort zone and forces us to learn more about ourselves. Ironman is a big part of that but there are more adventures too be found. Today we speak with an athlete who is on a mission to become an adventurer and inspire others to get outside and find things that push them to be better humans. Over the past few years Luke Tyburski has been planning The Ultimate Triathlon, a 2000km journey over 12 days and join us on the Fat Black to explain why and how he is going to make this happen!

Whilst we don't get much of an off-season here in Australia - mainly because of the continually awesome weather - it is important to take a bit of downtime at certain points throughout the year to allow the body to reset and work on key aspects if your endurance development whilst having a bit of fun.

It doesn't need to be all serious and Long course racing driven, and it must be enjoyable, but the off-season can provide some fantastic athletic development. In Today's Episode We Cover:
