Description:


Record-breaking marathoner Ryan Hall sits down to talk with nutritionist Dr. Clyde Wilson about "starvation" training for elite runners and other athletes - also known as glycogen super-compensation. The best way to work out for optimum adaptation is to have proper fueling. But there's an opposing idea to this, says Dr. Wilson. What makes muscle adapt, he says, is oxygen debt, which burns more fat and builds endurance. "Starvation" training is a bit of a misnomer, since it means just cutting back on your carb intake somewhat, and not for your hardest training workouts. Watch this video with Ryan to learn more.
