The Roadman Cycling Podcast WorldTour Riders Are Drinking This Before Races — Does It Work?
Sep 15, 2025
Filip Larsen, a physiologist and co-founder of NOMIO, shares insights on a unique supplement that claims to help athletes perform better with less fatigue. He discusses its scientific backing, including lower lactate levels, and testimonials from WorldTour riders. The conversation delves into training adaptations, overtraining, and even unconventional performance enhancers like a blend of broccoli and lemon. Larsen emphasizes the need for personalized approaches in sports performance and the importance of structured training to maximize results.

Episode notes
Test With Back‑To‑Back Hard Blocks
- The randomized double-blind crossover training study used hard daily intervals for one week then measured responses.
- Compare blocks with and without the supplement to see if training absorption improves.
Lower Lactate After Tough Training
- The study found lower blood lactate at the same workload after the hard training block with the supplement.
- This suggests improved tolerance to training stress rather than acute power increases.
Stress Reduces Training Absorption
- Psychological and life stressors reduce physiological recovery and training absorption.
- Mental stress slows physical healing and lowers training resilience.
