About this episode

The episode discusses the evolution of fueling strategies in endurance training and their impact on athlete performance and adaptation.

In this episode, BaseCamp Head Coaches Namrita Brooke and Tim Cusick take on one of the biggest shifts in modern endurance training: fueling is no longer just about having enough energy to finish the ride. It is now a performance lever that shapes the quality of the work, the durability of the athlete, and the adaptation that follows. Namrita brings the science of carbohydrate availability, absorption, and performance nutrition, while Tim connects those concepts to the real world of coaching, training execution, and athlete development. Together, they explore how better fueling helps athletes do more quality work, recover faster, and turn training into stronger, more repeatable performance.
