Angriest Trainer 66: Fueling for Endurance

by Vinnie Tortorich

Vinnie and Anna answer twitter questions, with a run-down on exactly how to fuel for endurance sports.

Michael Tortorich sums up the podcast in the My Uncle Vinnie Blog Wrap Up:

Twitter questions kick off this episode. Vinnie and Anna get into a discussion about racism, and the lack of it they’ve experienced. They then mention how Anna and Gay Andy will be posting recipes to the site. That leads to mentioning this very blog, which will be a regular feature. Robin Blackburn asks a question about fueling for endurance. One Twitter question basically took up the entire show due to the detailed answer.
