Stop Chasing Products: Build a Fueling and Hydration System That Works Ep 146
About this episode
Why do so many endurance athletes struggle with cramping, GI distress, dehydration, and race-day fueling?
Because they're asking the wrong question.
Instead of asking:
"What's the best gel?"
"What's the best electrolyte?"
"What's the best sports drink?"
Coach Chris Newport encourages athletes to ask:
"What does my body actually need?"
In this episode, you'll learn:
- why chasing products rarely works
- how sweat testing changes everything
- why fluid, sodium, and carb needs are unique
- how to build a fueling and hydration system
- why accountability and testing matter
- how to stop guessing and start trusting your plan
