Hello everyone and welcome to the fuel the pedal podcast. Your source of Science based nutrition… for cycling only. It is a tremendous pleasure to be here. My name is Gabriel Martins and I’ll be your host hopefully for a long time.
First, let me give you a bit of info on my background and why in the world am I doing this in the first place.
Im a Portuguese Nutritionist living and working in Spain, more specifically Madrid, I came here to study a Master’s degree in Sports Nutrition and ended up working as a PhD researcher at University Camilo José Cela. I also work as a cycling nutritionist for two cycling teams in Madrid.
I practise cycling myself and try to compete occasionally at a very amateur level of course. I’ve been a cycling fan all my life since I was a little kid, something I can thank to my father and it’s something that Im really passionate about.
But enough about me, you’ve just bumped into this channel just out of pure curiosity because you like cycling, or you’re a nutritionist who wants to know more about cycling nutrition and hear about what’s the latest evidence on a specific subject. Well, Fuel the Pedal wants to answer all that. We surely live in a world loaded with information which basically leaves athletes, nutritionists and the general population confused and ironically misinformed. The more information we have, the less we seem to know.
Fuel the Pedal is a filter. We need filters of information in our lives, in many more areas than just nutrition, cycling and physiology. Here we will interview the top researchers on their field, Sports nutritionists with true experience on cycling or a related matter and also cyclists whose experience and eating patterns may help us get a better idea on how should we adapt nutrition plans to the specific context of cycling.
So if you’re interested improving your nutrition knowledge on cycling, here is one hungry Nutritionist thriving to give you the most accurate Science behind this beautiful sport that we all love. One Portuguese, living in Spain, broadcasting in English.
I can tell you right away that in the first episode we will talk about breakfast and fasted training with one of the top leading researchers in this area. Many other great guests are coming so stay tuned for next episode.
