Live broadcast and podcast sponsors are Naak Sports Nutrition! So I’m still recovering slowly from bronchitis over the spring and summer, and I’m focusing on my strength work instead of ultra running right now, so I’ve been finding their new gels really useful to give me the energy I need for these sessions. My fave is the chocolate one but it’s also got caffeine in so watch out world! The maple syrup one is also very nice, and caffeine free.
