Episode 27: Show Notes.
In today’s episode, we continue our conversation with Hilary Spires, but with a bit of a twist. Our guest Hilary Spires takes on the role of interviewing our host Brittany to talk about all things endurance, nutrition, and motherhood. Tuning in listeners will hear about Brittany’s journey and how she first set herself ambitious training goals after pregnancy. She shares key takeaways from her course with Dr. Stacey Sims, all of which come back to the crucial lesson that ‘women are not small men’. We discuss some of the crucial differences between men and women in endurance sport, such as the distinctions between real food and race nutrition and how women process glucose differently from men. Brittany explains how your menstrual cycle and hormones affect your energy and how you process fuel. She also unpacks why taking in the correct carbohydrate to protein ratio during a race is essential. We loved hearing from our inspiring host, and we’re sure you’ll find the conversation every bit as informative as we did! For all this and much more, join us today!

Tweetables:
“I've always been in sport in some way since I was a child. And once I had my kids my incentive to get back into shape post-pregnancy with all of them was really to set myself some big, audacious goals.” — Brittany Anderson [0:02:54]
“In terms of resistance, and longer endurance, women’s recovery to baseline is way faster than men. So we actually need to refuel our body within 30 to 45 minutes of our workout. A return to baseline for a man is 18 to 21 hours. Huge difference!” — Brittany Anderson [0:15:31]
“Really listening to yourself like ‘Is today's run feeling hard because I just don't feel like doing it? Or is it hard because my body shouldn't be doing this?’. Being honest with ourselves.” — Brittany Anderson [0:27:57]
