About this listen

Gut training has become one of the buzzwords in endurance sport, but is it hype or a real performance advantage? In this episode of Performance Process, Ronan Mc Laughlin is joined by accredited sports dietitian and endurance nutrition researcher Dr Alan McCubbin to break down what gut training really is, why it matters for cyclists, and how to apply it in the real world.

From the science behind carbohydrate absorption and fluid tolerance to the practical protocols used by pros, they explore how to reduce gut discomfort, handle higher carb intakes, and adapt your digestive system for race-day demands. The podcast discusses much of the same topics Dr McCubbin covered in his article Gut training for cyclists: What is it and how can we do it? on EscapeCollective.com last month.
