Regardless of what we're doing, regardless of what type of training, regardless of the person, as a first level thing, that's our preference.

We want to either do it pre, mid, post.

In your example there, if we're trying to bring calories down, we're going to go somewhere else if we can.

It doesn't always work that way.

People don't always like it.

But that is our default position is, yeah, we're going to do more calories in and around the training to support it.

I want better performance.

You perform better, you get better adaptations.

That's generally how we look at it.

Different equation now, right?

So whether you talk about strength training or even endurance training, but as you said earlier, like you're talking sub 60 minutes at kind of a moderate to low intensity,

carbohydrate before training for most people is not going to matter that much.

Now you're talking about something different, really high intensity exercise for a prolonged amount and or moderate exercise for a longer amount, right?

So we'll define longer by plus 60 minutes.

Now you will very often see performance improvements with carbohydrates.

That said, we have some of our people, some of our friends, a good friend of mine that I will never stop

giving him the business on this one, Cam Haines, you know Cam?

Oh yeah, Cam's great.

The worst performance nutrition you could just possibly dream of, right?

Like he will intentionally not eat and drink water and then go run 18 miles, right?
