  <title>Episode 96 - Carbohydrate Restriction, Off Season Training Tips, and SGX Coach Gina DiSanto Talks Spartan Racing in Greece, Deka World Championships, and Overcoming Injury.</title>
  <description>The OCR Underground Show is the best resource for OCR specific training programs.&amp;amp;nbsp; In this episode I share two studies on Carbohydrates.&amp;amp;nbsp; Specifically they are about carbohydrate restriction training.&amp;amp;nbsp; When I wrote my book  Fuel and Fire, my plan was to help readers understand the importance of food and training.&amp;amp;nbsp; These complement each other when done correctly and can provide powerful improvements in your performance.&amp;amp;nbsp; Carbohydrate restriction can boost or blunt results depending on how you do it.&amp;amp;nbsp; These two studies show how in one situation it can help your training and in another slow it down.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; In the Inside Mike's Mind segment I dive into Off Season Training for OCR.&amp;amp;nbsp; This time of year I always stress the importance of dividing your training cycles into an in season and off season plan.&amp;amp;nbsp; This might sound confusing, so I share some of the key aspects of off season training and what I am currently doing for my program.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; And finally I have a great chat with SGX Coach Gina DiSanto.&amp;amp;nbsp; Gina starting her fitness career over 20 years ago while living in Germany.&amp;amp;nbsp; She had to overcome a huge language barrier, but fell in love with the industry.&amp;amp;nbsp; Fast forward and she is a nutritionist, spinning and pilates instructor, as well as SGX Certified.&amp;amp;nbsp; Gina recently competed at the Spartan race in Sparta, Greece as well as the Deka World Championship.&amp;amp;nbsp; She shared some of her training plans on how she is prepping for these big races and well as how she overcome significant injury to compete at a high level again.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; All this and much more in today's episode.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; Shop My Favorite 100% Science-Backed Amino Acid Supplements at www.aminoco.com/OCR.&amp;amp;nbsp; Enter code OCR at check to Save 30% + get a FREE amino eBook!
