44. Protein and Carb Timing for Optimal Performance?

In episode 44 of Lifting, Running, and Living, coaches Kelly and JK share updates from their personal lives, including Kelly’s ongoing house renovations and her new lifting focus and JK’s updates on his Run Club attendance and cardio sessions.

The main segment dives into two research studies on nutrient timing. The first study explores the impact of protein timing on muscle growth.

The second study examines the effect of delaying carbohydrate intake post-exercise on next-day performance in high-intensity interval training. The episode provides actionable insights on how nutrient timing can enhance training outcomes depending on the athlete's routine and goals.
