First post on Bluesky! Hoping to use this platform to share, find and discuss research. Posting my first publication on ketogenic diets and endurance:
‘Carbohydrate Supplementation Improves Ultra-Endurance Performance in a Keto-adapted Individual’

Our publication 'Strategic carbohydrate feeding improves performance in ketogenic trained athletes' has been published.
This is the first study to our knowledge assessing the impact of carbohydrate on 'chronically ketogenic' (min 12 months) athletes.
Short 🧵 what we found.

Absolutely love @iaindale.bsky.social’s new podcast, full of robust but respectful debate.
Totally agree with Iain’s point RE younger generation lacking resilience but think there’s more context needed. This generation is full of nihilism, no prospect of home ownership or an easy life.

Those who said Starmer was just demonstrating "diplomacy."
These are the inevitable consequences of appeasing a fascist.
A total own goal from Starmer as he has totally unnecessarily offered him a state visit.

Trump is a thin skinned bully. He has stopped peace talks because Zelensky wasn’t ‘thankful’ enough about the USA.
Keir Starmer has spent time and capital forming a good relationship with trump.
He uses it to support Ukraines cause ASAP or it all means nothing. #trump #starmer #ukraine

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

Just listened to this brilliant conversation involving @zackpolanski.bsky.social
It inspired me to join the Greens. They are the party that can create radical societal change.
I’ve been a Labour Party for years, now resigned the the fact they won’t provide the degree of change needed. Listen up!

In this weeks Substack I looked at a review on Sodium bicarbonate in endurance performance and recovery.
Fascinating supplement with a lot of recent interest due to the Maurten bicarbonate method, many athletes currently using!

Enhancing Exercise Performance with Sodium Bicarbonate
A supplement so cheap and simple that you can find it in the baking section in Sainsbury's. Today I explore how bicarb can be used to enhance performance.

Matt Goodwin supporting Trump giving into Putin. How much of Britain’s territory would be surrender?
This is chamberlain esq appeasement from the Tory. The war doesn’t stop until Putin loses, that is how he works. Appeasement means war continues. #bbcqt

In today’s Substack I disseminate some of the key findings from my first publication, from 2024 looking at carbohydrate intake in a ketogenic ultra-endurance athlete.
This formed the basis of a larger study to be published soon 🤞🤞

The chancellor might be blamed - but Sainsbury's job cuts must be seen in the wider context
It is entirely reasonable of Sainsbury's to cut costs when confronted with a higher tax bill and more retailers will follow suit in the weeks and months ahead.
