Join Chris Newport, functional sports nutritionist, to discuss magnesium. It's a critical mineral involved in over 300 biochemical reactions, yet 50-60% of both the general population and endurance athletes fail to consume adequate amounts through diet alone.

Here's what we review:

• What percentage of people actually get the RDA for magnesium
• How endurance training decreases magnesium levels in red blood cells
• Why heavy sweaters may need to increase magnesium intake
• Common food sources
• Different types of magnesium supplements offer varying benefits, including oxide, citrate, glycinate, malate, l-threonate and more
• Benefits of magnesium, like improved sleep, reduced muscle cramps, decreased inflammation, better cardiovascular health, and mood enhancement
• Why starting with a certain dose is important

Join Coach Chris Newport as she makes the case for why AI can't replace a coach when training for a multisport event. While AI might be cheap, it just doesn't yet compare to the element of a good coach-athlete relationship.

Here's what's discussed:

• AI plans offer structure but miss crucial context about your life circumstances
• Coaches interpret data beyond numbers, considering genetic factors affecting recovery and adaptation
• Device accuracy significantly impacts AI plan effectiveness, while coaches can recognize flawed inputs
• Technique assessment and personalized race strategy require human observation
• Coaching provides crucial accountability and motivation during challenging periods
• Ideal coaching candidates include newcomers to the sport, experienced athletes with ambitious goals, and those with complex schedules
• Injury management and breaking through plateaus benefit significantly from personalized coaching
