Description

For the first time, I am joined by two guests. Jack Gray and Josh Elston-Carr. Saying they are accomplished club runners is an understatement as they have represented their country but that's not the reason they are on the show...

Looking at what is happening on the running scene there are two things that I think are contributing to records being broken all over the place, high-carb fuelling, helping performances and recovery and the use of sodium bicarbonate - and so to Jack and Josh...

Last year they founded Bi(Carr)b, an innovative and affordable sports supplement that helps athletes reach their full potential by harnessing the lactic acid buffering power of bicarbonate of soda. Their deep understanding of middle-distance and endurance running has shaped every decision in the development of Bi(Carr)b and helped them to spot a gap in the market. They knew there had to be a better, more accessible way to harness the lactic acid-buffering power of bicarbonate of soda and today we share their story.

If you do want to try Bi(Carr)b then I squared away a cheeky little discount code for you, active till the 7th of March at midnight, you can get 10% off using code ULTRA10

We talked about:

• Their early years in running and how they progressed to impressive performances and international appearances
• The story behind Bi(Carr)b, early successes and what the future holds
• The proof is in the pudding - it simply works for the athletes that take the product
• A bit of a deep dive into how the product works (with some sciency stuff),
• Top tips for using it and how it can (and has) been applied at the ultra distances

The Hot Takes:

1. Using yourself as the science experiment and seeing what works
2. It's easy to feel like you are in balance if you are doing something that you love
3. The very best athletes are the ones that can do things in moderation
