Not All Sports Drinks Are Equal: Pure Race Fuel vs Electrolyte Hydration

So many athletes smash themselves at training with no regard for how they're fuelling or recovering. But we only adapt (i.e. get fitter and faster) from the sessions we recover from. So if you want to get the most out of your training, you need to learn how to unlock your SUPERCHARGED ZONE. It’s the sweet spot where training and nutrition intersect. And it is the secret to becoming a better triathlete.  But how do you unlock your Supercharged Zone?     You need to train     You need to eat to support that training My job, as an Advanced Sports Dietitian is to fast track your success when it comes to triathlon nutrition. Working with triathletes for many years in private practice and through my role at Triathlon Australia, I noticed there were some key elements triathletes needed to dial in first as a priority, to feel supercharged. Introducing, my SUPERCHARGED Triathlete Formula… The SUPERCHARGED Triathlete Formula Recovery Nutrition Pre-Training Nutrition Periodisation Run Fuel Ride Fuel Carb-Loading Hydration Supplements – the right ones that will benefit you, not burn a hole in your pocket I dive into each and every one, in detail, inside the Triathlon Nutrition Academy. I’ll teach you why it’s important, then how to do it. And every week you get to pick my brain, live in Power Hour, to make sure you have your very own custom plan, that’s perfect for you.  Triathlon Nutrition Academy Doors open TOMORROW on January 21st!  If you think nutrition is the missing link for you, come and join us!

Introducing our first Triathlon Nutrition Academy Alumni! Jill Gaudio, Luis Franco Marin and Jason Currie have all just finished 12 months of working on their triathlon nutrition.    As a result of understanding fuelling for swim, bike and run, Jill improved her 5km run time by 8 minutes, her 10km run time by 7 minutes and is cycling 6km/hour faster on the bike compared to 12 months ago. She’s fuelling and recovering better and as a result has gained muscle mass and decreased fat mass - the ultimate body composition outcomes for a triathlete looking to lean up, without affecting training performance.    Luis has struggled to maintain his weight for 10 years and kept getting lots of niggly injuries. Every time he increases his training volume, he drops weight, and not in a good way! But over the last 12 months, he’s managed to not only maintain weight, but actually gained 2kg despite ramping up training to race in two 70.3 half Ironman distance events.   Jason, our token crazy enduro athlete, came into the program never having a race nutrition plan. He’d just completed 12 Ultra’s in 12 months (see, crazy!?) and nutrition was his blind spot. Sunshine Coast 70.3 was his first ever race with a race nutrition plan, developed with a sports dietitian and he took 51 minutes off his personal best time!   If you are ready to work on your triathlon nutrition and experience the life changing results these three have, join us inside the Triathlon Nutrition Academy!

Here's one of our most popular episodes ever (from our archives) - 3 reasons why you aren’t losing weight, despite training the house down. Are you frustrated you can’t seem to reach your body composition goals? You train more than most people but still have a little excess body fat to lose. Are you constantly trying to eat a little less to burn more fat and end up starving all the time? Or absolutely wrecked after training? That is definitely no way to live 🙅🏻‍♀️ Listen in as I give you 3 reasons why leaning up seems elusive. It may not be as complicated as you think 😉   LINKS: Website: www.dietitianapproved.com Join the Triathlon Nutrition Academy Program: www.dietitianapproved.com/academy To work with me 1 on 1: www.dietitianapproved.com/services Instagram: @Dietitian.Approved  @triathlonnutritionacademy Facebook: https://wwww.facebook.com/DietitianApproved The Triathlon Nutrition Academy is a podcast by Dietitian Approved www.dietitianapproved.com/academySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another of our listener favourites to share with you as we head into the holiday break. In this episode, I talk you through one of the biggest issues I see faced by triathletes...fuelling for training. And why it’s so important to have a specific strategy for different types of training sessions.  Should you eat before exercise? And if you do, what should you eat?

Today's episode is one of our listeners favourites back when we first started The Triathlon Nutrition Podcast back in August 2021! This is all about the mistakes I commonly see clients make with their nutrition. Over the last 13+ years of practice, I’ve seen it all! But there is definitely common themes in what triathletes tend to do BEFORE they’ve had evidence-based sports nutrition advice (from someone that knows the ins and outs of the sport).  They are: Eating the same thing each day Doing a poor job of recovery Under-fuelling hard/long sessions Don’t have a race plan Get their nutrition advice from the wrong places Listen in as I walk you through each of these mistakes and how to avoid them!  If any of these mistakes resonated with you - don't stress! They're an easy fix with the right advice and some guidance on specific strategies FOR YOU! You’ll feel so much better for it and will finally start performing to your true potential.
