How Alcohol Impacts Endurance Sport Performance

About this episode

This episode explores the negative impact of alcohol on endurance sport performance and health.

Consuming alcohol is something most of the adult population takes part in. For years, a drink of wine was considered healthy but these days there is not evidence that alcohol is positive in any way. Today, on FASTER we look beyond the negative impact alcohol has on our health and explore how it impacts our performance as athletes. Even a drink a week can impact performance if consumed at the wrong time. Listen to this episode of FASTER to learn more about alcohol so you can become faster.
