When we’re looking for recipes to eat well and perform at our best as a triathlete, there are a few key components we need to ensure are included.   The challenge is, often recipes online and in cook books are unbalanced and don’t tick all the right boxes for the active person. And it’s hard to see that with an untrained eye.  They can also be complicated with too many steps, take too long to make, contain weird ingredients and end up not tasting any good. They’re a complete waste of time, money and sad for our palette.  Triathlon recipes need to provide the right balance of macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein and fats) to fuel your training and recovery and meet your nutrient needs as well. So how do you source recipes that tick all the right boxes for you? Tune in to find out! And if you want all the hard work done for you, I’ve got you covered with my Dietitian Approved Recipe Database!

Women are not small men.  We know that women are physiologically different to men. But how do they differ? And what does that mean when it comes to training for triathlon, coaching females and providing nutrition support? We’re kicking off Part 1 of a new Female Athlete Series on the podcast with the physiological differences between male and female athletes:   Body Fat levels Muscle mass and strength Vo2max Lactate Threshold Thermoregulation Fat Oxidation Hormones As you can see, there are lots of differences that we need to take into consideration.  There is no one size fits all.

Intermittent fasting has been around for most of human history, but has seen a peak in interest in the last couple of years.  What is intermittent fasting? Physiologically, what happens to the body when you fast? And should you dabble in intermittent fasting as an endurance athlete? There is some excellent research in fasting and exercise performance so tune in for my recommendations on whether it is something you should or shouldn’t be doing as a triathlete.    References Aragon-Vargas LF.

When we know better, we eat better. And when we eat better, we live better. Introducing you to the Doc! Aka Dr Hayley Dickinson, founder of Eat for You, Australia’s ONLY nutrient-tested snack bars. Dr Hayley passionately shares her wealth of knowledge around the nutrient quality of our food and what we can do to ensure we’re getting everything we need to optimise our health. She highlights the hard reality around the challenges of food labelling, how the nutrition information panel is developed and the unreliability of counting calories due to variations in food content. What I love most about this conversation is that she stands beside me to advocate for whole, nutrient-dense, real foods, rather than relying on synthetic supplements and has some practical suggestions for ways you can increase your nutrient intake. She stresses the importance of independently batch testing food products to ensure their nutritional integrity and is on a mission to encourage more food companies to follow suit and prioritise nutrient testing to create a healthier food landscape globally.   LINKS: Eat For You Website: eatforyou.com.au Instagram: @_eatforyou Farmers Footprint: farmersfootprint.org.au Check how well you’re doing when it comes to your nutrition with our 50 step checklist to Triathlon Nutrition Mastery: dietitianapproved.com/checklist Start working on your nutrition now with my Triathlon Nutrition Kickstart course: dietitianapproved.com/kickstart It’s for you if you’re a triathlete and you feel like you’ve got your training under control and you’re ready to layer in your nutrition.

Last week we had the honour of speaking to triathlon legend Michellie Jones about the importance of rest days and light training.  This week we chat to Taren Gesell, Founder and CEO of MOTTIV all about training smarter and maximising your performance in less training time. Two x Taryn’s on one podcast - I mean what could go wrong! Taren shares his 4 pillars that are important for great training outcomes as a triathlete: Training in the right intensity so you can adapt from the session Balance - balancing training with life, but also ensuring your body is ready to absorb the training and maintaining health through the process Strength training - a key pillar to any triathletes programming  Nutrition - and using it to enhance training sessions He’s a firm believer that more training hours does not equal better performance.  You don’t have to train 20 hours a week, you just need to train smarter. One of the key metrics he likes to use to ensure you’re absorbing training and have the balance right, rather than seeking diminishing returns is Heart Rate Variability (HRV). How do you track HRV? What information does it tell us?
