Episode notes
Don't Overdo Kids' Gummies
- Avoid taking uncertified sports supplements in large doses; don't binge multivitamin gummies meant for kids.
- Megan warned David to stop ingesting excessive Centrum Kids gummies despite their taste and novelty.
Spend On What Improves Workouts
- If budget allows, invest in ergogenic aids (bicarbonate or Nomio) that improve workouts rather than niche supplements.
- Test DreamShot or ketones to see individual responses, but prioritize interventions that boost daily training quality.
Adjust Zones When Using Bicarbonate
- When using bicarb or Nomio, expect altered heart‑rate responses and adjust zone calculations accordingly.
- Don't judge effort by heart rate when on buffering supplements; track and adapt zones while collecting data.
