Eric Zaltas developed an affinity for pedaling hard and the science of nutrition at a young age. Growing up in the Bronx, New York, this meant racing bikes through Central Park and attending the Bronx High School of Science. After college, he raced full time for the US National Road Team collecting 75 career victories including a US National Championship in the Team Trial. Amidst his bike racing career, Eric had the unique opportunity to base out of Switzerland, the home of Nestle world headquarters. While in Switzerland Zaltas helped lead research collaborations with some of the top sports scientists in the world including the UK-based Asker Jeukendrup and Louise Burk of Australia. In the realm of fueling for performance, Eric and his colleagues helped provide evidence based clarity by testing common questions in the lab and implementing them in the field. Eric doesn’t have a PhD after his name– though he certainly could– if only he wasn’t so busy spending his spare time with extracurricular activities. Hammering up all the famous climbs in the Alps, racing IM Switzerland, and prepping for his next marathon is just who he is–and I think that’s a good thing. Here are the key questions Eric helps to answer in this episode of the podcast: -Carb Loading: Is it still a thing? If so, how do we do it? -Solids vs. semi-solids: salted red potatoes + bacon or caffeinated cake frosting? -Day to day Pre-session fueling: What, when, how? -How does a person train the gut to absorb what it needs for long efforts? -General parameters for intra-session fueling. -Protein: post training when and how much?

Threshold Stories of Eric Zaltas

If you’re an athlete, or have any interest in sport of any kind, you would have heard of PowerBar. Although it has changed hands over the years, the iconic nature of the brand is unwavering.

In this episode, you’ll hear about the fascinating roles that Eric has held while working at PowerBar, how the brand manages to retain the appeal of its athlete and non-athlete target markets, and even some of the science behind the formula which he helped create. Eric was first introduced to PowerBar during his time as a long-distance cyclist and he has had to tap into a different kind of endurance power while rebuilding the PowerBar brand, with a great deal of success!
