About this episode

Anthony Walsh discusses with Dr. Sam Impey about a new study revealing that most cyclists are fuelling incorrectly.

Go check out our FREE Skool community, it's got amazing tools in there and a thriving community of cyclists - https://www.skool.com/roadman/about Today Anthony is joined by Dr. Sam Impey, an expert in performance nutrition who works at the sharp end of endurance sport. We talk about a new study that finally confirms that most cyclists ARE getting fuelling wrong. And the surprising part is, it’s probably not the mistake you think it is. This isn’t just about gels, drink mix, or what you eat on the bike. It’s about a much bigger pattern that shows up across the training week — one that separates how amateurs fuel from how the PROs do it. So today, we’re unpacking what cyclists get wrong, why it matters, and how to fuel smarter. One of the tools you will have heard Anthony chat about in this podcast is Training Peaks.
