What It Takes to Fuel Your First Ironman with Steve Duquette

Thinking about doing your first full Ironman? Don’t leave your performance to chance.

In this episode, I’m joined by long-time TNA athlete Steve Duquette, who recently completed his first Ironman at Ironman Canada—and felt strong from start to finish. We dig into the practical nutrition strategies that gave him the confidence to go all in, and how he avoided common race-day disasters like cramps, GI issues and bonking.

Whether you’re considering going long or already knee-deep in training, this episode will help you understand what it actually takes to fuel the training, execute a bulletproof race day strategy and enjoy the journey.

In this episode we cover:

  • Steve’s journey from cramping cyclist to confident Ironman finisher
  • How nutrition gave him the confidence to step up to the full distance
  • Key differences in fuelling 70.3 vs Ironman training
  • What went wrong in training—and how he fixed it before race day
  • The full race day strategy: carb loading, electrolytes, hydration and more
  • Sweat testing, spreadsheets and how data built confidence
  • Steve’s advice for anyone still winging it
  • What he’d change next time and his goals for 2027
