Back of the Pack: Why Nutrition Isn’t Just for Fast Triathletes

Think nutrition is only for podium chasers? Think again.

In this inspiring chat, we meet Dr Sarah Barr, a proud back-of-the-packer, cancer survivor and one determined triathlete chasing big endurance goals including a full Ironman for her 62nd birthday. As a long-time calorie counter and clean eater, Sarah thought she had nutrition sorted... until she realised she had no idea how to fuel as a triathlete.

We dive into:
• Why nutrition is just as critical for slower athletes
• Common fuelling myths that leave back-of-packers bonking
• How Sarah overcame restrictive mindsets to fuel with purpose
• What she’s doing differently to chase her next big goal

This episode is a must-listen for any triathlete who’s ever thought they’re “too slow” to need a proper fuelling plan.
