How to Prevent GI Distress in Endurance Athletes [Replay] Ep 159

Nausea, bloating, cramping, reflux—or the dreaded mid-race bathroom emergency? GI distress is common in endurance sports, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept it as part of training and racing. With fall race season ramping up, we’re bringing back this practical episode of the Find Your Edge Podcast to help you understand what may be happening in your gut—and what you can do about it. Coach Chris Newport breaks down some of the most common causes of GI distress in runners, triathletes, cyclists, and other endurance athletes, including: • Eating or drinking too much at once • Race-day anxiety and the gut-brain connection • Trying unfamiliar fueling products during a race • Fructose, sugar alcohols, and other ingredients that may trigger symptoms • Why your everyday gut health matters, too • How to practice and train your fueling strategy before race day The big takeaway: Your gut can be trained, too. Instead of waiting until race morning and hoping your nutrition plan works, use your training sessions to learn what your body tolerates, adjust your strategy, and build confidence before race day.
