Is Exogenous Lactate the "Holy Grail" of sports fuelling?
For years, we’ve been focused on >120g/h CHO intake. But how can we explore new limits?
Lactate is not a waste. It´s the most efficient and preferential fuel in the human body.
A thread on the next metabolic frontier🧵

Scientists (@borjammt et al) identified a single gut bacterium associated with stronger grip, leg press and bench press in humans - and supplementing it boosted strength in mice. It increased muscle fibre size and shifted fibres toward fast-twitch. Read👇

After Zegama, I needed to understand what my body had been trying to say for weeks.
I wrote about the MRI, an old knee injury, and why I’m trying to see this moment as a new challenge: to recover, adapt, and keep learning from the body.

🎙️🆕 Episode: Lactate & Exogenous Lactate in Human Metabolism!
After years of research, I cover lactate metabolism, how exo. lactate may work, what we've tried with athletes & the gaps left to close.
Honored to build on G.Brooks' work. Thanks @DJ_Lipman!

Quick note: This episode was recorded 3 weeks ago now. I can tell, in the last 3 weeks we have learned so much, so please take this into consideration when listening to the podcast. Mostly if I have made any mistake on it :) Thank you!

Practical note after some easy calculations:
For a 2m bed, this means adding a couple of 21 cm high block under one side!
Hope you appreciate this! :)

Tilting your bed 6° head-up while you sleep may make your body produce more red blood cells. After 5 weeks, blood volume rose 4.1% - similar to what you'd get from altitude training. No change in those who slept flat. Small study (n=9), but intriguing!!
