| Episode 2 - The structure of sports nutrition and strength training for the endurance athlete | 13 Mar 2026 | 01:15:21 | |
In this episode, we explain the essential framework for both sports nutrition and strength training for endurance athletes. Vic breaks down the two main umbrellas of sports nutrition: day-to-day nutrition (eating enough, macronutrients, and micronutrients) and performance nutrition (hydration, sodium, carbohydrate intake, and ergogenic aids like caffeine). Kam covers the fundamentals of strength training, clarifying what true strength work actually means (hint: you need to get close to failure at 4-6 reps), and explains how to structure a well-rounded program that includes strength, balance, plyometrics, and mobility work. We also discuss common mistakes athletes make, like underfueling during high-volume training, getting distracted by fancy supplements instead of nailing the basics, and doing endless reps without actually building strength. Plus, we debate the merits of tart cherry juice, cold plunging, and expensive supplements versus whole foods, and answer listener questions about fitting strength training into a busy schedule and the mysterious Pizzitribe.
