Last week I covered all you need to know about carbohydrates and discussed how it is still falsely blamed by most people for why they cannot get into shape. The carb myth is one of many out there which is still believed and it makes getting into shape way harder than...

On Friday night, I’m back doing a Hyrox event, so I’m putting in a little bit of carb loading. The event will last 60-70 minutes, so I don’t need to do an intense carb load like you would for a marathon, but it’s something to do for a bit of fun.   Carbohydrates...
