Ep 129 - The optimum quantity of Carbs debate continues amongst the Sports Science community
03/03/2026 | 33 mins.
Welcome to Episode 129 of the Trail Running Ireland Podcast.
In this weeks show we analyse once again the topic of optimum fuelling strategies, revisiting our analysis of Tim Noakes latest paper that we discussed in our last show while looking at the recent research paper on fuelling from James Morton's who has worked with British Cycling, Team Sky, elite marathoners, and who is very much in favour of high carbs for prolonged intense exercise.
How do both papers apply do us as Trail Runners? René Borg from Running Coach Ireland is here to discuss.
Everyone, get your running gear on, lets go!
Ep 128 - Do we slow down because muscles run low on glycogen, or because the brain is protecting itself from falling blood sugar levels - a sweeping new review!

Welcome to Episode 128 of the Trail Running Ireland Podcast
We have a coaching special this week with René Borg from Running Coach Ireland talking to us about a sweeping review from the famous South African Sports scientist Tim Noakes and his team asking whether we slow down because muscles run low on glycogen, or because the brain is protecting itself from falling blood sugar. Get ready guys for findings that could systematically dismantle more then 50 years of sports nutrition dogma.
Everyone, get your running gear on, lets go.
