Forget what you’ve heard: here’s how to fuel and train for durability.

Everyone’s an expert these days. Scroll your feed for five seconds and you’ll get bombarded with people screaming, “Show me the studies!” as if a PubMed link alone is the holy grail of truth.

But here’s the thing most of these keyboard PhDs don’t want to admit: They’ve never actually read a study. And if they have, they sure as hell don’t know how to interpret it.

That’s why I sat down with Certified Power Athlete Coach, Dr. Ben Skutnik, an actual PhD with real research chops, to tear into the current state of “science” in the training world and why your Instagram infographic isn’t cutting it.
