The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show · Cardio vs Strength Is a Myth and the Science Proves It - Dr. Alyssa Olenick · 7 Jul 2026 podcast

I know that like post-workout timing, like quote unquote, doesn't matter as much, as much as getting it in the whole day.

But if I'm going out for a three, four, five hour run, I'm trying to get amino acids in my body right away.

Typically, the good you want to get some carbs in with that to restore that, but intra workout.

I do I'm really big on carbohydrate feeding for endurance activity.

So I get between sixty and ninety grams of carbs per hour on my long runs.

And how fast?

So for me, I really just kind of build up to it over time.

And then I find that the more intense it is, the less I can handle versus the slower I'm going, the more I can do.

But if I'm doing like a carbohydrates, you can do it.

Yeah, but if I'm doing a trail run that's like zone one mostly, like very easy long training run, I I can tell that I don't need 90 grams of carbs in that training session to fuel it, kind of thing.

But for me, I think about too not just hitting that carbs to fuel my session.

But hitting those carbs so that my body isn't using protein from my muscles or my body as an energy source.

Um, also it helps with recovery.

Like if you think about concurrent training and hybrid training.

You know, if you eat enough intra workout nutrition and daily nutrition after a long run, you're gonna feel a lot better when you show up to the gym Monday than if you eat 30 grams of carbs per hour, didn't hit your protein for the day, and then try to show up for that same resistance training session on Monday.

So that's the way I think about it.

I would love to eat a little bit.

This is actually a lesson that I learned in my last ultra.

Uh-huh an ultra is anything 32 miles or 50 kilometers and longer.

Yeah, it starts at the 50k distance.
