A university is undertaking a study on triathletes who raced or planned to race at least one triathlon in 2022. The aim is to identify injury epidemiology and motivations that led to continued training/racing while injured. You can find the survey here: ow.ly/IVZf50MJNyF

Hi Tawnee, Ben. I just posted this on Facebook: I’m a long-time listener, ultra runner, gone paleo several years ago due to digestive issues. Was intrigued by recent EP interview with Matt Fitzgerald so I read his series “Racing Weight.” Convinced that my training/performance could be improved by increased carb intake, I tried (once again) to eat more carbs, mainly still whole foods like quinoa, rice, oats, sweet potato, banana tho I also threw in some GU and chased the hard workouts with a packet of Recoverite. When I say I “increased carbs” I still followed Ben’s guidelines, consuming carbs earlier in the day around work-outs, most carbs on biggest training day of the week, lower carb on recovery days. All-in-all still low to moderate carb intake. But even that increase has caused a significant worsening in IBS symptoms to the point of feeling completely miserable. AND my face just broke out in the worst acne I’ve seen in years!!! I am really sensitive to FODMAPs! Ben, in your recent response to Matt’s interview you mentioned that you, too, are very sensitive to FODMAPs. I know sensitivities can be very individualized but specifically what carb sources work best for you? I have played around with UCAN which gives me total gut rot (I can tolerate during a 3-4 hour long run but am miserable for several days after). I have also tried coconut oil but it makes me nauseated if I eat it before and during runs. I am allergic to tree nuts. Chia seems to work pretty well for me but I’m concerned about the omega-6 content. Your thoughts/ideas???
